Abstract:
The impact of World War II on Wilmington between 1941 and 1945 is discussed by Smith. Military construction was in high gear and included the following projects: a coastal artillery base; Camp Davis, which housed 20,000 soldiers; Army Air Force fields in New Hanover County; and naval and coast guard centers in Brunswick County.
