I live near Brooks Field and my father trained there and was a member of the graduating class 42-A. He went on to be a Pilot of a B-24 that flew out of Iron Range, Australia. Brooks Field is now mostly sub-divisions and commercial property and is no longer an active military base. However they have a nice little museum in one of the hangers, with many pictures of troops that trained there.
