V.-2 - 1: Day Job

[Robin Landseadel]

I see you were taken by the suggestion of "V.-2." Gee, thanks.

I was thinking of TRP's old day job, wondering how much of Boeing he  
spun into "V.", wondering how much of what he spun into "V." got spun  
into GR. This would be interesting in light of how Pynchon explicates  
in "Inherent Vice"  how he was aware of the aerospace industry during  
the time he was writing Gravity's Rainbow and how that would fit into  
his old day job.
