I recommend four books written by Mel Shettle. Has written two excellent volumes dealing with the U.S. Navy's Air Air Stations of World War II. Volume 1 deals with east of the Mississippi River and Volume 2 deals with west of the Mississippi River. He has also written an excellent book on the U.S. Marine Corps Air Stations in World War II. He has available a book dealing with Georgia's Army Air Fields of World War II. I believe he is working on another book dealing the the AAF in World War II. It is cheaper to buy direct from him. Here is the link to Mr. Shettle's website.

Looking for aerial photographs – use Microsoft’s^TM Terraserver. You can get USGS aerial photographs for most of the USA and USGS topographic maps. The USGS aerial photographs are part of the NAPP program to photograph the USA. Starting in 2000, “urban area” photographs are also available in color. If you select a major metropolitan area city, example Denver, you can view black and white NAPP photographs, color “urban area” pictures and USGS topographic maps. The more you zoom in and out, the scale of topographic maps will change. Maximum zoom in on topographic maps will give you 1:62,500 scale.

Google Earth is a great tool for looking for and at airfields (and many other things). You can locate download a free copy from:

http://earth.google.com/

There are other sites that take the Terraserver USGS data and have tools to more easily navigate than provided at Terraserver. One of these I use is acme.com and it has been greatly expanded over the years:

For topographic maps, there is Terraserver and also TopoZone at:

Historical maps are maintained at NOAA by the Government.
