Sahuaro Auxiliary Army Airfield #5 information needed.

[Paul Krumrei]

Dear Paul,
Congratulations on a wonderful set of web sites which serves as an instant research tool for those of us in need of more information on the BT-13.

I am currently working on a research project and discovered a posting that the WASP trained at Marana airfield and flew BT-13. I am an aviation historian, but my expertise is NOT WWII aircraft so I looked up your site and voila....there they are!

I wish to learn more about the specific BT-13 program in Arizona and wondered if you could help?

The proper designation of the field I am interested in is as follows.

Sahuaro Auxiliary Army Airfield #5
MARANA, Arizona

If you ever learn of an aircraft or person connected with that airfield during WWII please let me know.

I'll be sure to send you any information I find for your web site while I am working on this end.

Thanking you in advance,
