From the January 4, 2017, MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illinois) :"Looking Back."
1941, 75 Years Ago.
"Following orders of the federal government, a 24-hour a day armed guard is now on duty at the Waterman Airport, it was announced this morning by Spencer Mack, operator of the establishment.
"Armed guards are also on duty at the government weather bulletin station, which is situated near the hangar."
Fear of Enemy Espionage. --GreGen
My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.
