Book discusssion and author signing

Leah Dearborn signing and discussing Grenier Air Base: A Beacon On The Homefront a book sure to intrigue airplane and military history buffs.  Grenier Field, a military air base in Manchester, N.H.  had a major impact close to home, but also played a role in global events. From World War II through the Vietnam era, Grenier Field was a bustling military hub, hosting tens of thousands of troops and support staff who were part of the nation's air defense system. Time has not been kind to Grenier. Today, almost all traces of the base are gone from what is now Manchester-Boston Regional Airport. Nothing remains to remind us of the people, both military and civilian, whose service helped define life in mid-20th century America and around the world.  Published by the Aviation Museum of NH, the book aims to collect the memories in one place so they remain accessible to all.
