Scholes Field (GLS) is located in Galveston, TX. This use to be an Air Corp base during WWII. Im having a hard time locating aircraft pictures for Scholes Fields during WWII...

Can anyone help me out??? Any suggestions?

Thanks!

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,

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... :)
