More pictures of the airfield and fighters. The black and white aerial photo is from 1946 and the color one is off goggle from the modern day. You can see how much the buildings have changed. The hangers are gone. The buildings in pictures with Bob Hope and my grandfather that look alike. I can find that parade field in the 1946 picture and they were more rectangle shaped then. Now they are a "T" shape to them. Looking at some of my grandfathers pictures the original buildings had some of the windows boarded up. Makes you kinda wonder if they were bombed and badly damaged. But I know alot of the old buildings aint there today by the aerial photos.
