This evening I along with other members of the Long Beach Aviation Friends group attended a special screening of the film documentary, LONG DAYS WORKING HARD: LONG BEACH DURING WWII, produced by David Kelly of Cal State Long Beach. The documentary features many historical aspects of aviation in Long Beach and film footage not seen for a long time.

There is some great footage of Earl S. Daugherty flying over Long Beach and awesome footage of the dedication and ground breaking ceremonies for the Douglas Aircraft Company (DAC) production facilities where B-17, C-47, A-20, and A-26 aircraft were built during World War II.

This program will be shown on the Public Broadcast System (PBS) later this year or early next year, so keep checking your local listings as you do not want to miss this program.
