All my life I've ridden by this historical site, but never stopped until recently. During WWII, there was a flight training school in Douglas, GA. I knew something about it because my grandparents, Jim and Allie Jardine, rented rooms to cadets' wives while their husbands were going through the course. My mom remembered them clearly. Several of the couples returned after the war with their families to visit my grandparents.
Several years ago, the facility was opened as a museum, and I visited over the Christmas break. If you are ever in the area, it is a neat museum with nice displays, a walking tour, and several planes! Check out their excellent website at http://wwiiflighttraining.org/
