I enjoyed reading the comments from those who have great memories of March AFB. I too have great memories. I was attached to the 22nd Field Maintenance Squadron from April 1969 to August 1970, and worked on B-52's and KC-135's J57 engines. I lived off base in Sunnymead and my wife, Fran, worked at the base Bowling Alley in the cafeteria. I would love to see old buddies like Robert Cotman from Virgina, and Sylvester Loving from New York.

Does anyone remember... when Gen LeMay landed at March for a surprise visit? The great Bob Hope golf tournaments with all the celebrities visiting? SAC was a great command. The klaxons in the barracks? 33rd Comm 1965-69

crypto & 12th Air Div Historian, 50-54 with tdy's to Anderson, Mildenhall, Yokota. Don't recall the 22nd BW ever flew the '50s (only 29s, 47s, and later the 52s). Generally great memories of March; sad to see it reduced to such a backwater base these days.

I'm the webmaster at YellowAirplane.com and I am working with Warren Benjamin Kidder who wrote the book, Willow Run, Colossus of Industry. Ben was a personal friend of Henry Ford, Edsel Ford and Charles E. Sorensen, the man who built the Willow Run Factory. Ben was the last person to live on the Willow Run property before they tore his house down to build the huge B-24 Liberator plant. He has now produced a movie script about building the B-24's and their operations in WW2. General James M. Stuart (Jimmy Stuart) was the operations officer of the 8th Air Force during the Ploesti Raids which is covered in the script. You can see the release for the script at this email address: http://yellowairplane.com/Book_Reviews/Warren_Benjamin_Kidder/WillowRun_PG8_The_Willow_Run_Movie.html and you can read about the book at this address http://yellowairplane.com/Book_Reviews/Warren_Benjamin_Kidder/WillowRun_Cover.html You will find Ben's phone number and contact information on the Movie Review page. My personal dream is to have the scene showing the Mission Briefing Room to have all the grand kids of the real pilots in it, instead of a bunch of extras. The very next scene that I would like to see is the real B-24 pilots, dressed in their flight gear in the Mission Briefing Room. I am sure that Ben would enjoy speaking to you about this book and movie. His home phone number is 517-394-2849. Ben was also in Admiral Halseys fleet when there were so many ships lost. Later, Ben fought in huge battles in the Pacific and then came back to be the man who designed and built the factory to manufacturer the C-119 Flying Boxcar. But to top all of this off, Ben was one of the head superentendents that built the Trans Alaskan Oil Pipeline.
