This book is intended to provide a quick research resource for US military facilities. Included are the US Army, Marine Corps, Navy and Air Force.
It is nice to know what the various facilities were used for as well as the biographical information of the person a facility may have been named for.
Not all foreign bases appear to be included. The US Air Force section lacks any overseas operations. The US Army section lacks Fort Meade in Maryland and Fort Rodman in Panama.
The US Navy section was well received. The reference to Admiral Reeves and football helmets was very informative.
The index contains a list of facilities in the book but lacks page numbers. This oversight could easily be remedied with modern word processing software.
A few illustrations would have been a welcome addition.
Despite the lack of polish, the book is recommended.
