I wish I had a dollar for the number of times I have been in that area. When I was, it just never came to thought. I understand they had quite an operation there.

That is what I understand . I have not seen any period photos, but will go to the Indiana State Museum when I have time to see if I can find some. I worked in the old hanger for 3 months as a Government contractor. Too bad those walls can't talk.

When I went to the Air Force in 1965, my first duty assignment was Craig AFB, Alabama (Old Craig Field). Little did I realize all the history that went on around me there. I had interests during my early years other than WW II Air Field history. I remember well the old wooden hangars, shops, and the old barracks where I used to live. My friends and I managed a trip to Maxwell, AFB once and a while. What I wouldn't give to be able to go back and re-live that part.

I have become interested in this part of history only recently. I have been to a number of old bases in my Air Force career, some of which no longer exist. It all started when I went to a training conference in Lubbock, TX. I drove West of town and visited Reese, AFB (Lubbock Field) about 3 years after it closed. I had a weird feeling come over me that day and since, I just cant get enough. I think those walls are talking, we just can't hear or refuse to listen.
