Description

Hanson. Filled with rare archival images, this photo-history examines the relationship between Rantoul, Illinois, which boomed with the coming of the Illinois Central Railroad in the mid-1850s, and Chanute Air Force Base, which was established as Chanute Field (named after aviation pioneer Octave Chanute) on the outskirts of Rantoul in 1917 and served as a premier technical training facility until its 1993 closure. 128 pages, 190 B&W photographs, 6½"x 9¼", softcover.
