Book - The Last Word in Airfields

Crissy Field, a former U.S. Army airfield used to support the coast defense of San Francisco Bay, makes an important contribution to the National Historic Landmark District of the Presidio of San Francisco. Crissy field is significant to our nation's history because it was the first Air Coast Defense Station on the Pacific Coast and the only such airfield in the nation that remains essentially intact. It was also the only Army airfield in the western United States active on a continuous basis between 1919 and 1936. 157 pages with lots of photographs!
