4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars 7 ratings

I 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 rapidli vanishing but very important part of the Air Force story.
