Calstrom Field

Greetings Danny, Happy 2018!

Does this picture ring any bells? (guessing you may have already seen it?)




And this one a few months before your time, June 1941 (42A?)..



The caption on these two is is 42B August 1941..
"The presentation of diplomas by Mr Paul Riddle to Royal Air Force cadets of the first course, Class 42-B, at Embry-Riddle Company. The cadets wear the white flash identifying air crew in their caps. Shirts and trousers are USAAC issue."





This one's caption simply said Calstrom 1942. You in there Danny?!





Maybe pre war? (no Station ID on the hangar roof, then again, maybe post Pearl Harbour to confuse the Japs?!)

]

Perhaps you knew of this man? Can't imagine they let you loose with a Major (George Ola) ?!



Lastly....


Map from May 1941

(The captions disappeared upon posting..)

Apologies if these have been posted previously..

Best wishes

Michael
