Using references from people like John Comer who flew with the 381st & John Good Brown, the Chaplin of the base, we were able to build a picture of base life & the raids that were flown from here 2 of 4
The airfield still has the remains of taxiways & buildings along with sites of interest, such as the old baseball pitch which James Good Brown wrote about during his time there. Other sites of interest included where the old air tower stood 3 of 4
