– Hawaii Air National Guard photograph.

In the early 1950s, the Hawaii Air National Guard had summer camps – your 15 days of annual training – at Hickam Air Force Base. There were morning formations in front of your barracks in Area 61. The personnel in the photograph are still in Army-style uniforms because the transition to new Air Force uniforms were on-going.

This photograph is from the HANG 25 Booklet, the history of the Hawaii Air National Guard, November 4, 1946 to November 3, 1971. Special thanks to Steve Lum who scanned this photograph.
