Walker Army Air Field Publications, 1943-1946
Series
Identifier: MS 022
This series consists of three publications contemporary to World War II. These publications are 'Buck Sheet', 'Walker Talker', and 'Pathfinder'. The ‘Buck Sheet’ was the original newsletter produced for Walker Army Air Field base employees in January and February of 1943. The ‘Walker Talker’ replaced the ‘Buck Sheet,’ with the first issue published on Friday, March 5, 1943, as the official news publication of the Walker Army Air Field. The ‘Gremlin Post’ was until 1944 a section created especially for the 400th Sub-Depot within the ‘Walker Talker’, at which time the content was incorporated into the larger publication. Publication of the ‘Walker Talker’ continued weekly on Fridays until December 1943 when publication moved to Saturdays. Publication then moved to the second and fourth Saturdays after the Japanese surrender in August 1945. The final edition of the ‘Walker Talker’ was published on December 8, 1945.
