<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jwt708, post: 2131139, member: 32619&quot;]In conducting my research for Indian Springs Aux Field I found a tremendous resource - &quot;Locating Air Force Base Sites History&#039;s Legacy&quot; edited by Fredrick J. Shaw. It covers 1907 to 2003 and purports to detail the rationale of why bases were opened and closed. This should be an interesting read and will hopefully fill in some gaps. The document is available online for free from the Air Force History and Museums Program and is available here for viewing/downloading:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.afhso.af.mil/shared/media/document/AFD-100928-010.pdf" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.afhso.af.mil/shared/media/document/AFD-100928-010.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.afhso.af.mil/shared/media/document/AFD-100928-010.pdf</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway interesting tidbit I read illuminated something about Jefferson Barracks, Missouri; that it was secured by the Army Air Corps for aviation technical training! I only bought these tokens because I liked the design but I like them even more now! Anyway, I&#039;ve posted these before but I&#039;m going to do it again.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Photos courtesy of eBay seller sctokens, edited together by me.</p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/media/jefferson-barracks-mo-25c.2256/full" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="https://www.cointalk.com/media/jefferson-barracks-mo-5c.2723/full" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>There&#039;s also a ten cent token and I own one but I can&#039;t seem to locate the photo.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie4" alt=":mad:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>One of the many great things about this hobby is learning more about the history that surrounds our coins, or in the case of this thread, our exonumia.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
