Summary: "'Grenier Air Base: A Beacon on the Home Front' tells the story of Grenier Field, a military air base in Manchester, N.H. that had a major impact close to home, but also played a role in global events. From World War II through the Vietnam era, Grenier Field was a bustling military hub, hosting tens of thousands of troops and support staff who were part of the nation's air defense system. Time has not been kind to Grenier. Today, almost all traces of the base are gone from what is now Manchester-Boston Regional Airport. Nothing remains to remind us of the people, both military and civilian, whose service helped define life in mid-20th century America and around the world. This book is a project of the Aviation Museum of N.H., and its goal is to trace the history of Grenier Field through the stories of those whose lives intersected with it"--Amazon.
