Located in a quiet valley at the base of the Saddleback Mountains and only a few miles from the Pacific\u003cbr\u003eOcean, Marine Corps Air Station El Toro stood proud and tall on behalf of the U.S. military for 57 years and four wars.\u003cbr\u003eIn this publication dedicated to the history of the Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) El Toro, with a sub-section covering MCAS Tustin, Thomas O'Hara presents a detailed account of the installation's achievements and activities during the entire period of its service to the U.S. military. Over 200 images--from photos of the first Woman Reserve Officers in 1943 to documentation of the annual airshow--illustrate the base's history from its role in World War II through Desert Storm.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas O'Hara\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0738501867\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780738501864\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing (SC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/27\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.50h x 6.80w x 0.40d","brand":"Thomas O'Hara","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43925763883263,"sku":"9780738501864","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_25439880-b710-4a4d-a0c5-ffa0bcc4f363.jpg?v=1681079212","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/marine-corps-air-station-el-thomas-ohara-9780738501864","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
