We think many of you might be interested in this event. This is not an OASIS event. ============================= Western Museum of Flight Celebrity Lecture Series November 15 -11 am Hostile Skies The 8thAir Force at War With the Luftwaffe featuring Lt. Charles "Norm" Stevens During the desperate fight for dominance of the skies over Germany and occupied Europe, the 8th Air Force distinguished itself throughout American involvement in World War II. From the dark early years through the final triumph, American fliers proved their mettle. But it wasn't without a terrible cost: ten percent of all US combat deaths in WWII were sustained by the American aircrews, who day after day, year after year, had to repeatedly go up to face a highly skilled and determined foe. Listen with us, as we hear the first-hand account of this deadly conflict, and the men and equipment who fought their way to victory. We are privileged to have Lieutenant Norm Stevens, author and war hero, who will share his personal experiences with us. Please join us on Saturday, 15 November. Norm will sell and sign copies of his books. The lecture is free to Museum Members. Non-members: $5 Parking is available in the museum lot on Airport Drive.
