Home Sweet Home Front:
Dayton During World War II

Acknowledgments
I would like to take this time to thank these particular people for their help and advice:
I am indebted to Brian Hackett, Claudia Watson and Mary Oliver of the Montgomery County Historical Society. I am proud to be a part of the staff of this fabulous organization. They never fail to go the extra distance when help is needed in researching Miami Valley’s rich history.
I am also proud to be working with Bill West. His knowledge of the city’s history, and NCR in particular, knows no bounds. He has been of immense help to me on both this book and others I have done in the past.
Thanks is also due to Mike Jesse, Charlotte Jones and Dayton Newspaper, Inc. for helping a local author keep his facts straight; Mike Walters for his insight on General Motors history; Burt Reames of Crossroad Coins, Inc. for his vast information on World War II history and Ellie Bambakidis of Dayton Montgomery County Public Library for taking the time to help find photographs.
And, last, but not least, Kevin Smith, of the Dayton-Montgomery County Public Library. It is mainly due to his generosity that this book was able to be written.
My thanks to all of you.
