Keesler celebrates 75 Years
Aircraft mechanic students relax outside one of the
dormitories in 1941, at Keesler Field, now known as Keesler Air Force Base,
Miss. The dormitory was located south of where the present-day service
station and shoppette are located. Ninety-year-old Thomas Adams Jr., a
member of the first class of aircraft mechanic students at Keesler in 1941,
made a visit to the base Dec. 7, 2011, on the 70th anniversary of the
Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Adams has made his home in Pass Christian,
Miss., since 1966 when he retired with 25 years of service in the Army Air
Corps which was later name Air Force. (Courtesy photo)
