I didn't know of his work in the military! His career with the US Air Force was in 1948 at the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base on the concept of Military flying saucers. https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/search/label/flying%20saucer
Alex Tremulis designed cars since the age of 19, and his talent for drawing concept cars was eventually recognized by Duesenberg showroom sales manager, who hired the 20 year old Alex to draw customer's cars. One car Alex designed was the 1934 Duesenberg Model J LaGrande Convertible/Coupe.
After A-C-D folded in 1937, he briefly worked for GM, Briggs-LeBaron and then as a consultant for several other companies until the United States entered World War II. Tremulis joined the U.S. Army Air Force in 1941 and was assigned to Wright Field in Dayton, Ohio, where he worked in the Aircraft Laboratory on Creative Advanced Designs of Aircraft through the use of wind tunnels.
Plus 11 years at Ford as the head of the advanced design studio, and head designer at Cord, Auburn, Deusenburg, he then became the chief designer for the ill fated Tucker automobile before joining Ford, and he designed the 1968 Studebaker prototype design for Indy
