NAS South Weymouth: The Defender Of Freedom

This is the story of NAS South Weymouth, a naval air station that was located in Weymouth, Massachusetts from 1941 to 1997 on the site of the modern Union Point (formerly SouthField) community. NAS South Weymouth started out as an anti-submarine blimp base during the Second World War and in the post-war era was the home of the Navy and Marine Air Reserve in New England. This book tells the complete history of NAS South Weymouth in 739 pages of informative text and 828 illustrations (including nearly every kind of aircraft assigned to the base). This book will be of great interest to anybody who is interested in the history of aviation, naval aviation, or Massachusetts state history.
