Great pictures, well put together.

I found this book to be great in all phases that I donated a copy to the USS Leyte CV 32 Association. There it is exposed to thousands of members at their reunions.In Knowing Sean Milligan he has the know how of editing a book.

Full of Historical Info for the Aircraft Conniseur.

I enjoyed the rich historical knowledge that is shared in this volume of the Images of America Series which I admire very much. It is full of precious photos of P-51s, B-17s and many other planes. The book tells of the legendary Airbase known to all as Quonset Point, Rhode Island...

This book is a special collection of Planes and Ships

This book brings back memories for thoes who served in the military. It is also a useful tool for thoes interested in ecconomic development. You will see how different Naval Air Stations have the same things in common -deep water ports-landing strips-rail connections-access to roads to major cities. They are all perfect for industry or intermodal transportation. Sean Milligan has lots more information to share and there are more books to follow on these topics. The photos are great and everyone I let read my book were very moved. It was like watching someone look at an old school yearbook. I think you or your family will get a kick out of seeing this piece of history. ENJOY

This book is a good sample of the History of Quonset in Pics

This is a really good collection of Photos spanning the history of Quonset. Sean Milligan is a man who has been studying Quonset and related topics all his life. I have known him for many years and he lives and breathes everything Navy, Air Force and Marines. He loves Planes and Ships and it shows in his work.Look for a big book to follow soon on this and related Topics. You will be surprised at some of these rare photos and believe me he has more to show you. This book is a must and be assured there is more to come from this historian. Sean Milligan lives in Pawt. Rhode Island and he is working on other books and a TV program related to this subject. ENJOY.
