WW2: 1939-1945 IPO years per my research - Raytheon: 1952 Boeing: 1962 Lockheed Martin: 1994 Northrop Grumman (pre merger): 1939 Hard to find clear sources on this, but doesn’t seem like the major defense contractors we’re talking about were public during WW2.

Ah, I tho OP means back then, the defense manufacturers weren't public. I didn't realize they meant today's defense contractors.

I don't get it. Lockheed and Martin were different companies in WW II.
