Meet the Author
CHARLES LOBB
Torrance Airport
Wednesday, August 6, 7:00 p.m.
Katy Geissert Civic Center Library Community Meeting Room

Join us for an evening with Charles Lobb, author of Torrance Airport.  Mr. Lobb will discuss the research and discoveries that led to his book on one of Torrance's most famous landmarks, Torrance Municipal Airport.

Known today as Zamperini Field, this 490-acre parcel sent four squadrons of P-38 fighter pilots off to war, became temporary housing for Japanese Americans returning from World War II internment camps, and became home to the world's largest manufacturer of civilian helicopters.

Charles Lobb is a Federal Aviation Administration-certified flight instructor.  Over a 10-year period, he combed through federal archives and private collections for vintage and compelling photographs, many published in this book for the first time.  Copies will be available for signing and purchase.

This program is free and no reservations are required.  Sponsored by the Friends of the Torrance Library.  Call 310-618-5959 for information.

Looks good, I will free up my schedule ;D
