Scope and content
The metal framework of a curved, barrel vault roofed building rises into the air as construction continues in February of 1939 on McChord Field. The modern airbase was being constructed on property deeded to the War Department by Pierce County in March of 1938. The cost of construction was topping 2 1/2 million dollars and creating jobs for over 2100 local workers. (T. Times 02/08/1939, pg. 3) Ordered for Corky Maybin, T. Times. (filed with Argentum)
