How to use this brochure: Each sign has a number corresponding to a number on the map in the center of this brochure. Listed on the other pages are the same numbers with the aviator’s name (names are in alphabetical order), followed by a brief military bio of the aviator, so you can drive, bike or walk by the homes on a self-guided tour. Because of space considerations only a brief bio could be included. In some cases biographical information was just not available. Only the first 300 signs are represented in this brochure, the quantity we originally planned for. Check our website, www.coronadohistory.org, for aviator info on sign numbers over 300. Our bright blue signs will remain in place until mid-September. An asterisk (*) represents names out of alphabetical order or biographical material was unavailable. Highlighted numbers represent well- known aviators.

The CoRonADo hISToRICAL ASSn. is proud to present “Project home Front.” When planning our new exhibit, WINGS OF GOLD: Coronado & Naval Aviation, a simple project to help our community mark the Centennial of Naval Aviation was proposed: to recognize the homes where a naval aviator once lived (or lives now), with a small distinctive yard sign.

This project continues to grow as word spreads through the naval aviation community. We continue with additions and corrections to the original brochure and will add them here on our website as we receive them and are able to post them.

how to use this brochure:

In the original phase, each sign has a number corresponding to a number on the map in the center of this brochure. Additional numbers will not be identified on the map. However, listed on these pages are the sign numbers, in numerical order with the street address and the aviator’s name, followed by a brief military bio of the aviator, if supplied, so you can drive, bike or walk by the homes on a self-guided tour. Because of space considerations only a brief bio could be included. In some cases biographical information was just not available. At the end of this listing are names with for which there are

no signs requested and/or no address given

In general, the first 300 signs are represented in the first eight pages of this brochure, the quantity we originally planned for. Starting with this page, we add those additional names who have contacted us for additional signs and make any corrections to the original 300. You’ll find this Adobe Document (pdf) searchable using Adobe Reader. Check our website often at www.coronadohistory.org, for aviator updates.Our bright blue signs will remain in place until mid-September. An asterisk (*) represents biographical material was unavailable. Highlighted numbers

represent well-known aviators.

Special thanks to the volunteers who have made Project Home Front possible: Susan Keith, Rob Crenshaw, Tom Mustin, Lorraine Roley, Wright Smith, Becky Mercer and Boy Scout Troop #806.
