Kellogg speaks on World War 2 airplane smelting

Kingman Route 66 Rotary Club’s April 12th speaker was Kingman’s Planning and Economic Development Director Gary Kellogg (shown left with club president Becky Fawson). Kellogg presented a 7 minute black and white video, “WW2 AC Last Stand” by Howard Grounds depicting the destruction of World War 2 airplanes at Kingman Airport. Over 5,000 planes were destroyed following WW2. Aluminum from the planes was smelted and it, along with tires, fuel and any other salvageable items were sold.
