Gi Joe Doesn't Live Here Anymore An Oral History of Clark Air Base, America's Mightly Air Force Bastion in the Philippines

Early in the 20th century, the hoofbeats of U.S. Cavalry horses were a familiar sound at America’s new base in the Philippines. At the beginning of WWII, Japanese bombs destroyed American planes on the runway. After the war, the base played a vital role, providing men and equipment to wars in Korea and Vietnam…until the 1991 monster eruption of Mt. Pinatubo sent American airmen away, never to return. This gritty, poignant, humorous, and sometimes disturbing chronicle reconstructs the 90-year history of what was the largest, and one of the most colorful, overseas United States military bases. That story is told in previously unpublished letters, writings, and personal accounts by the men, women, and families who were stationed there.Utts, Thomas C. is the author of 'Gi Joe Doesn't Live Here Anymore An Oral History of Clark Air Base, America's Mightly Air Force Bastion in the Philippines' with ISBN 9781413778359 and ISBN 1413778356.
