The Snapshots in Time Collection
Gallery: Part 1
Opening pages of "Scott Field, A Pictorial and Historical Review" introduce the Illinois base whose motto, Sustineo Alas, declared its mission to sustain the wings. Radio school labs, heliograph and high-speed code instruction, the post office, hospital, band and staff officers together portray a technical training center at full wartime stride.
