The Historical Aircraft of Lackland AFB: A Pictorial Salute to Joint Base Lackland

Description

Hundreds of thousands of proud men and women have entered the Air Force through the gates of Lackland Air Force Base. The base has recently been named Joint Base Lackland. But its rich historical heritage remains the same. It's still the gateway to the United States Air Force. Those who've sweated together here... who've learned together... who've become brothers and sisters in arms... all remember seeing the aircraft on static display during their tour. These are those aircraft. Each one has a story to tell. Each one will bring back memories of those who marched past them. For they, like the aircraft represented in this book, are now a proud part of Air Force history. Photos used in this collection were taken of vintage aircraft on permanent display at Joint Base Lackland, San Antonio, Texas
