PX at Hickam AFB in Hawaii |
The photo was taken in 1955. I bought some presents here at this PX. We left Hickham in a Constellation aircraft and got halfway to Travis Air Force Base in California when one of the engines caught fire. We were bucking a headwind so the pilot decided to turn around and go back to Hawaii. That's why I got to go shopping in the PX and visit many places. |
