Looking for photos of Olympia Army Airfield

Tue Oct 09, 2007 11:30 am

Does any one have pictures of the Olympia Army Airfield during, or immediately following WWII? Where might I find them otherwise?

Sorry looks like my photobucket took a dump with the photos :?

So are the pics lost?

Brian,

It sucks to think we were pissed about the same thing at the same time and didn't know it. I don't think a single one of the old P-38 revetments still exist now. I wish something could have been done.

Jack,

Is there any chance you could post the pictures again? I'd really like to see what remains of the old base. Currently the field is undergoing major work.

Curt, There is only on P-38 spot left and am trying to save it still.

Let me know if I can help.

There is one guy causing the destruction. His answer was "It's just some old pavement, can we just take a few pictures of it ?"

The big guy?
