Arizona is a surprising place with its secrets sometimes in plain view.  Historian Steve Hoza spent more than a year flying over the entire state photographing and documenting more than 50 airfields that were used during WWII for pilot, bombardier and gunnery training.  Cadets from the USA, Great Britain and China prepared for battle on some of the country’s largest training fields located in Arizona.  Photos taken during and after the war, including historical artifacts, will be presented.

Steve Hoza is a native Phoenician who has worked in the museum field his entire career.  He is a recognized authority on the history of World War II in Arizona.  Steve has written on the German POWs held in Arizona and the military training airfields during the war.  He is the archivist/historian at his alma mater, Bourgade High School, in Phoenix, and runs the official website of the Wallace and Ladmo Show.
