Arkansas Ties ... A Little Bit of This, a Little Bit of That, and a Whole Lot of Arkansas

Swindle Field Walnut Ridge, Arkansas Swindle Field In memory of Lt. Robert J. Swindle A bombardier in the 8th Air Force 303 Bomb Squadron, whose B-17 was shot down January 23, 1943 while bombing submarine pens in western France.
