Camp Cooke and Vandenberg Air Force Base, 1941-1966 for sale in Phoenix, AZ

1 of 1
Hello history buffs! America s first west coast armored and infantry training installation was built in California in 1941 and was named Camp Cooke. During WWII more than 400 military units trained at Cooke and at its peak more than 36,000 military personnel were stationed at the camp. Among these units were the 5th, 6th, 11th, 13th, and 20th Armored Divisions, the 86th and 97th Infantry Divisions, and the 2nd Filipino Infantry Regiment. My book, Camp Cooke and Vandenberg Air Force Base, 1941-1966, takes us through the war years in a series of notable events transpiring at Cooke as well as on the war front. It follows a similar path in discussing the Korean War. During both conflicts, visiting USO shows at Cooke featured some of the most popular celebrities and entertainers of the day including Bob Hope, Bette Davis, Orson Welles, and world heavyweight boxing champion, Joe Louis. In 1957, Cooke was transferred to the Air Force and a year later renamed Vandenberg AFB. Vandenberg is the only military base in America to test launch operational ICBM missiles and to place satellites into polar orbit, and was the site of the first ICBM missiles on alert with nuclear warheads. The book examines early launch programs and reveals several significant accidents and successes. Included in the book are visits to the base by President Kennedy and the humorous story of Russian Premier Khrushchev's train ride across America that almost ended in a diplomatic incident. The book's military theme encompasses more than sixty years of American history and spotlights California s inextricable role in world events. Through hot wars and a cold war, it is a story about ordinary people performing extraordinary services for their country and fellow countrymen during those remarkable times.
