	Jake Swirbul - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Jake Swirbul and Leroy Grumman met in 1924 at Loening Aeronautical Engineering Co.
		As World War II approached, Swirbul's contacts in the US Navy kept Grumman's production lines running, and his scalable management style is credited with Grumman's ability to ramp up production faster than any other company when war broke out and to maintain higher profit margins than any other aircraft company throughout the war.
		Jake Swirbul died of pneumonia while ill with colon cancer on June 28, 1960 shortly after Grumman began work on the Gemini program and one month after the rollout ceremony for the A-6 Intruder.
