Most of the photos in this book would be from 1942 and before. Many were "stock" photos taken at the base, and used in many different editions of the class book.

It is the FIRST PUBLICATION Hickam put out after the JAPANESE ATTACK on HICKAM. My father was in the 11th BOMB GROUP HEAVY the 42 SQUADRON. The COMMANDER IN THE BOOK IS GENERAL CLARENCE TINKER. The 11th BGH was at the BATTLE OF MIDWAY and his B-24 went down on the way to the BATTLE OF MIDWAY he was the FIRST US GENERAL LOST IN WWII. The link to the 11TH BGH has an administrator if you write him he is extremely knowledgeable of the units and activities in the USAAC in the PACIFIC THEATER. Believe me I am entirely in contact with families now, all the men I knew who served with my father have passed on.

I am researching (for the family) the path of Dwight Morgan Holmes, US Army Air Corps, killed as a POW in WWII. 30th Bomber Squadron, 19th Bomber Group, Heavy V Bomber Command. He was at Hickman prior to being sent overseas.
Would this publication include photos prior to 1942; would this be relevant to the "life" Lt. Holmes experienced at Hickman? If so, I will send this on to the family, who are desperate to determine his path and photos.
