Forgotten Field,
I was born in the Station Hospital, Barksdale Field in Jan, 1944. I am interested in purchasing a specific Barksdale Field 3rd Air Force yearbook. To determine if your book is the one I am interested in, can you please tell me what pages the history of the Medium Bombardment Replacement Training Units is on and the name of each Lt. Col. listed in the R.T.U.
Thank you,
AAB44

The 3rd Air Force unit book from 1943-1944 or so. No date, but MG Westside Larson is the commanding general pictured in the book and the one who wrote the forward. The book condition is fair on a condition scale of poor-fair-good-very good-excellent, but only because there is a set of stains on the center edge of the first few pages and the binding is a bit worn. Otherwise, I would call it good condition. Well illustrated history of the Medium Bombardment Replacement Training Units, including one African-American squadron. It's full of photos, similar to a high-school yearbook, and I really like the book. But I'm not a 3rd Air Force Collector. Price is $75.00 and that includes shipping to anywhere in the US. I accept checks or money orders. Interesting offers of trade also considered. PM if you have any questions.
