Another of my ongoing projects is a series of pages with pictures of my hometown. Yesterday I added a page that includes full-page scans of a newspaper that was printed on October 9, 1942 for men serving at Hobbs Army Airfield. It contains mostly just news about what was going on at the base, but it's still sort of interesting to look at. The airfield was established in 1942 by the 2nd Air Force for the 50,000 Pilot Training Program. It was operated by the Western Flying Training Command, and trained bombardiers & the crews of four engine bombers (B-17s).
