Galveston Co. Historical Society?

Col. Buebe's military shop at The Strand.
Any local photographers or photography shops that have been around for a while.

The LSFM, I would guess, too.

There is a structure on Highway 6, Hitchcock I believe, that goes back to WW-II, and housed a blimp.

Good luck,


Saludos,


Tulio

Col. Bubby's hmmm, I would be surprised if Meyer had any.

Tulio, Elroy is a volunteer at LSFM and can often be found hanging around the B-17 or B-25.

Galveston Historical Society or the Galveston newspaper, you know, the one at the end of the causeway.

I know there were P-47s there not sure what else. Seems like I saw some pictures in the terminal once.

Thanks Tulio & Rick! :wink:

I have some feelers out there. I just figured that there might be something out here on line.

If my memory serves me correctly Ive heard that during the war a U-boat was spotted of the Galveston coast and a B-25 went after it....but then again I could be mistaken.

Im looking for trainer a/c or base hack stuff... :)
