From our Touch & Go newsletter: Vol. 21, No. 5 NorCal History: Did You Know? This is a fairly rare photo (I have never seen another) of an F6F-3 taking off at OLF Concord. OLF was Navy language for Outlying Field, it was an auxiliary to NAS Alameda used only for practice takeoffs and landings. I took this in October 1943 while home on leave from the AAF. I climbed over the fence and walked through the weeds with my big Graflex hoping that being in uniform would let me get away with it - and it did. Contributed by William T. Larkins (NC 5)
