PHP-1025In writing three volumes on America's World War II training bases, Lou Thole has created a pleasant irony in that "forgotten fields" are no longer forgotten. Instead, they are brought to life again with vivid storytelling and imagery that meaningfully connects past and present. Lou's series provides an important look back at a rapidly vanishing but very important part of the Air Force story.
Records eleven US Army Air Corps bases originally built and used in the training role during the Second World War. Individual chapters chart the history and operation of each, while the author's recent visits reveal what is left of each site. The appendix lists USAAF airfields.
