I'll never forget flying into Wake Island in May of 1965. The weather was beautiful with a many scattered popcorn clouds. From the air the island is a beautiful sight. Driving from the airstrip to the mess hall we passed a few WWII aircraft mostly buried in the sand and a concrete bunker or two. There were a few other well rusted vehicles half buried in the sand but it was impossible to tell what kind of vehicle they had been.
Thanks for bringing back one of my favorite memories.
Yep, we stopped for refueling at Wake Island on one of my trips to Vietnam during that conflict. We also had lunch in the mess hall. I wish I could have had the time to look around more. At least I can say I was there.
