Points
of Interest:
The C.O. of the 325th Reconaissance
Wing, one Colonel Elliott Roosevelt, son of the wartime U.S.
President, kicked out the pilots from their comfy farmhouse
billet and moved into the farmhouse himself when the 325th took
command of the 7th PRG.
Roosevelt kept his private VIP equipped B17 at Mount Farm, and
used to park it on a hardstand just behind the farmhouse. The
circular hardstand is still there and now has a barn built on
it.
