Description

As the threat of a second world war grew, so did Bangor’s strategic importance in eastern Maine. National Draft Day saw 3,157 local men register to serve, and town built up its Dow Field because the nation braced for war. Just about 6,000 servicemen and women referred to as Dow their home base all through World War II. Organizations just like the local Soldiers Welfare Council and the USO welcomed the troops whilst women stepped into roles vacated by enlisted men and worked tirelessly to maintain the community’s patriotic spirit. Bangor and its world-class air base stood strong at home as its native sons fought valiantly at the warfront.
