Summary

As I Remember provides previously unrecorded accounts of a senior executive at Hughes Aircraft including the eventual transition to GM Hughes Electronics.

Topics include:

  • The development of the Navy's Phoenix missile
  • The Maverick family of air-to-surface missiles
  • The introduction of gate array semiconductors for military application
  • The use of maquiladora assembly, and the development of large scale air defense systems for NATO, the UK, and Saudi Arabia.

As a member of the top-level management committee of the $15 billion company, Walker reflects on his involvement in the integration of Delco Electronics into the company, his role in the development of advanced automobile electronics, and various aspects of the company's relationship with its parent company General Motors.
