BTW, Tommy McGuire was from NJ and McGuire AFB (ex Ft. Dix
AAFld) was renamed for him in 1948/49. There is a P-38 (J I
believe) painted as McGuire's plane on a pylon just inside one
of the entrances to the base. There is also a Douglas C-118A
in a traffic circle in front of the Terminal Building plus
some other museum pieces in an open field.
