Presentation by Kate Hampton
During the 1930s, the US Army Air Corps and Department of Defense instigated parallel programs to augment the military’s capacity for strategic bombing. Kate Hampton will speak on Montana’s four top-secret training facilities, where hundreds of airmen learned to crew the massive “Flying Fortresses” and to master the precision bombsight.
