Because of their kindness and commitment to meeting customer needs, considerable material was reviewed relatively quickly. In particular, Fermand Garlington, Mike Rosebery, and Domenica Carriere were especially helpful. Domenica also had spent many hours indexing 22 log books prepared by the Signal Service and Weather Bureau from 1871 through 1910. Because of her hard work, days of research were condensed to just a few hours. MSgt Shawn M. Bohannon, 2nd Bomb Wing Historian at Barksdale Air Force Base, spent time showing the author Hangar 9 (where weather observations were taken) and explaining the history of the base. His time and effort are greatly appreciated. Bill Cooksey of the Shreveport Airport Authority provided pictures of both the Downtown Airport and Regional Airport.
