Kelley & Col. Dugard.Following the devastating attack on Pearl Harbor, the U.S. Navy’s aircraft carrier gained a spot next to the battleship which, in return, increased their air force and the need for more pilots. Indiana became home to a naval air training center as American industries built aircraft faster than ever. With the Cold War brought the immediate fulfillment of a deterrent force capable of surviving a potential nuclear attack. In 1954, a very important part of that force moved into the old Hoosier Navy Base and for more than three decades, Bunker Hill and Grissom airmen stood ready to defend America’s freedom. 128 pages, 222 B&W photos, 6½”x 9¼”, softcover.
