Ladies & Gentlemen: In ww2 I was stationed at leopoldville Belgium Congo. IN Sept 1942 I met some of the 38th Engineers who built Wideawake field.
Is there picture available that shows the side view of the Runway and its high point?

I WAS A RADIO OPERATOR IN THE AACS AND WAS STATIONED ON ASCENSION FOR SIX MONTHS IN 1944. WE SLEPT IN TENTS AND USED TO WAKE UP MANY NIGHTS WITH FERAL CATS RUNING UNDER MY BED. LOOK BACK WITH FOND MEMORIES OF THIS TIME. I ENJOY READING THE ISLANDER AND KEEPING UP WITH WHAT IS HAPPENING THERE NOW.
