| Chris: No I did not. I remember seeing it on the way to our Transmitter site, which was about 30 K south of Tripoli, but I never visited it. I guess it's full of Brits.... huh ?

| actually the cemetary is now closed and the remains of 72 Americans and there families have been returned. I thought it was still open but while doing a search I found that it was now closed. Here is the article: Military returns remains buried in Libya - Yahoo! News

| Chris: That's quite a story. It states that Wheelus housed B-52's from 1958 to 1972. I was there Nov 1954 to Nov 1955 and we had B-36's. If memory serves, it was a SAC base and Lemay was head of SAC at the time. I was attached to the 1950th AACS (Aircraft & Airways Communications System) and later to the 1603rd SAR (Search & Rescue) which was later changed to Sea/Air Rescue. It was good duty but I could never get use to the "base alerts". We didn't have them in the Navy. Charles

| Chris: Probably..... I've got a box full that's never been sorted. See what I can dig up. Do you remember reading about the "Lady Be Good " ? A B-24 that crashed in the desert coming back from a mission to Rome ? They found it sometime after I left.... I think in the '60's. Quite a story in itself. Charles
