James Leo Kelley worked for Consolidated Aircraft Corporation from 1934 until 1970. This collection contains his personal desk diaries from that time period. Entries include personal and work-related daily incidents.

Consolidated merged with Vultee Aircraft Corporation to form Consolidated Vultee Aircraft Corporation (informally known as Convair) in 1943. In 1954 Convair became a division of General Dynamics and remained so until the mid-nineties when General Dynamics began divesting itself of its aircraft divisions.
