In response to the Berlin Blockade, the 36th Fighter Wing at Howard Field, Panama, was shipped to Europe aboard the escort carrier USS Sicily, arriving in Glasgow on 7 August 1948. Its F-80s then flew from Renfrew to their new base at Fürstenfeldbruck. Photo by: Walter Sanders / Life This photo was added on 30 April 2020, and has since been viewed 820 times. |
