I called down to AM a few weeks ago and talked to Head of Military History. What I relate here he did not know!!!
Google Big in and Little inch pipelines. Without these lines Europe would have been lost and perhaps USA depending on who got the most nuclear bombs first.
When the oil got to England another pipeline was built across the Channel called Pluto. Ike went to Tex. AM and told them thanks for their work during the war.
He said when it comes to building things or moving things one Aggie was worth 100 West Point soilders. So when you bash AM you might think you would not have the freedom to
to do that without AM. Now what did Lubbock do? Well we had 2 bases . One for 60 percent of all glider pilots and at Reese we had a twin engine base my Dad come to from Iowa. Also Texas had great flying weather for training with bases at Midland, Pecos, Marfia. etc. So let be fair and balance. hubcith
