Life at Camp

Panorama of Biggs Field, El Paso, Texas.  My barrack was building on furthest corner of block directly over water tank, 2nd window upstairs. 

I also did considerable movie shooting and editing in my spare time at the barracks.  After being promoted to corporal, I was allowed to move into a room, with one other man.  This gave a certain amount of privacy ot available to unrated men, which was desirable to me.  The editing shown was conducted in one of these rooms.  The normal type bunk and area assigned to each man including myself shows that space was at a premium.  The room was similar except for partition.  After spending most of the war period as mentioned, I was transferred about June 1945 to Selman Field, at Monroe, La.  While home on furlough from Monroe, in which I managed to fly a Cessna home, the atom bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, and shortly after returning to Selman, I was rushed by air
(c-47) to El Paso Texas during the first part of September to Biggs Field.
