Justman. Established in 1888, Fort Crook, renamed Offutt Air Force Base in 1948, has a long and active role in the development of aviation technology and as a protector of National Security. Lavishly illustrated, this volume examines that AFB, from its contributions during the Golden Age of flight to its wartime service as a bomber plant, its tenure as the headquarters for the former Strategic Air Command (SAC) during the Cold War, and its current role hosting the 55th Wing. 128 pages, 200 B&W photographs, 6½"x 9¼", softcover.
