Columbia Army Air Base Photograph Album
This photo album includes images of the former Columbia Army Air base located in Lexington, S.C. There are over 180 photographs showing men from the 96th Air Base Squadron at work and at leisure inside the barracks and out. Social events include a Red Cross Social, a G.I. Hop, and Lee Bowman's Band playing at a U.S.O. dance. Many photographs are identified with captions, and some are official Air Corps photographs printed at the base's photo lab showing base operations, planes, and hangars.
