Welcome to Dow Air Force Base. In its role as a Strategic Air Command heavy bomber base, Dow is one of the most vital and historic installations in the United States Air Force.

Dow is located in the suburbs of Bangor, Maine and as such, is one of the eastern-most bases in

the Continental United States.

Because of the fact that a permanent change of station is most often a strange and confusing ex­ perience, probably the most important questions you have now are those concerning facilities that are available at Dow, the local community, the people with whom you will work and the machinery at your disposal to help minimize "settling in" problems.

We hope the information contained in this guide will answer most of your questions and that you will find Dow and the city of Bangor a friendly community and that you will enjoy your tour here.

EQUIPPED WITH B-26 light bombers during World War II, the 397th Bombardment Wing earned the Distinguished Unit Citation for action in Europe.

The State of Maine is proud of the outstanding hunting records which have been established in her state over the years. Bucks weighing over 400 pounds live weight have been taken in Maine, and it is doubted if any heavier whitetails are taken anywhere on the continent. It is estimated that the average sportsman’s chance of bringing back a deer over 200 pounds is one in thirty-five.

Downeast craftsmen are noted in fact and fiction as builders of ships; inventors; and as posses­ sors of an abundance of what has come to be known as “Yankee ingenuity.” It produces items as different as wooden checkers and parts of jet plane engines. Mostly Maine is a forest state with over 16 million acres in forest land, the harvest of which supplies nearly 1,000 wood-using plants which in turn employ over 34 per cent of the wage earners of the State. The manufacture of paper products is- the leading wood industry with spruce and fir the principal species used. Wood turning shops using hardwoods, principally birch, are the industrial backbone of many Maine communities. White pine, the State’s official tree, is the major source of lumber for home building and construction. The largest producer of paper plates is located in Central Maine, and the largest newsprint producer has its home in the Pine Tree State. Scattered over the State the vistor will find paper mills, cotton mills, wood and worsted mills, shoe factories, factories producing textile machinery, machinery tools, wood turnings and fabricated metal products. Mineral production at present is almost entirely of non-metallics. Limestone beds in Maine have been in production for 125 years; this deposit also supports one of the nation’s largest cement concerns. The feldspar industry accounts for 25 percent of the na­ tion’s output. Maine granite has been used in build­ ings like the extension of the House of Representatives in Washington, D.

CLIMATE The U. S. Department of Commerce, Weather Bureau annual meteorological summary, says “Maine has the most healthful climate in the United States and equals any in the world, not only in the summer but also, contrary to belief, in the winter. “Sunshine averages close to 60 percent for the year and monthly averages vary little during the changes of seasons. Frequently the winter has more sunshiny days than the summer. “It is a fact that southern Maine has more actual hours of sunshine during the months of June, July, August and September than the famous winter resorts of Florida, Georgia, Texas and California have during PICNIC AREA—Another fine picnic area in Maine is Baxter the winter months of November, December, January State Park, near Greenville. and February.” — 40 — CLASSIFIED BUYING GUIDE
