I received some years ago from a friends who manages a surplus shop in the USA some pictures and documents about Colonel Vernon Babcock (ASN O - 900938) who served with the IXth Air Force Service Command.
Colonel Babcock belonged to a pool of very skilled specialists of air war logistics with experience acquired in Northern Africa and MTO. They were tasked with the huge burden of planning and preparing the installation of airfields, maintenance facilities and materiel stockpiles on the continent after D-Day for the 9th Air Force, that was tasked with air support of ground troops.
