One page is dedicated to B-Gen. Frederick W. Castle. Castle Air Force Base was named in honor of his meritorious military career during World War II and now the Castle Air Museum carries on the honor.
This section concludes with a map of the Museum grounds with the locations of all the aircraft on outdoor display and a numbered index with descriptions of each aircraft.
This section is one of the workbook portions. Here you will find questions that are taken from the Museum's Brochure and Information Sheets.

Don't worry about the answers, they are all at the end of the section.
