“With Their Eyes Turned Skyward: Santa Barbara’s Fallen Aviators of WWII”

Have you ever wondered how the streets surrounding the Santa Barbara Airport were named? For example, who were David Love, Augustus Griggs and Clyde Adams? They were among the 49 local aviators who lost their lives during World War II.
The Goleta Valley Historical Society will host a lecture, With Their Eyes Turned Skyward: Santa Barbara’s Fallen Aviators of World War II, on Sunday, Aug. 19, by community historian Michel Nellis and Santa Barbara Airport director Karen Ramsdell. The presentation is based on their recent book of the same name, which chronicles the untold stories of the 48 local men and one woman who put their lives on hold for freedom and made the ultimate sacrifice.
