The Desert Training Center and C-AMA, (California - Arizona Area), 1946 PREPARATION OF UNITS FOR OVERSEAS MOVEMENT study no. 21, 1946 The Desert Training Center: Yesterday and Today by Francis G. Blake; Armor November-December 1988 Palm Desert Magazine article by: Ann Japenga Only a few explorers like McKeever have discovered these sights from the air. But now DTC boosters want to make this view available to more folks with an official Desert Training Center Sky Trail Tour. The brainchild of Larry Dighera, a Santa Barbara pilot who discovered the camp sites on flights to Las Vegas, the DTC sky trail has been featured in two pilots’ magazines. The BLM’s Rolla Queen has plans to further promote the sky tour. It’s an unconventional approach to tourism, but when you’re in charge of the world’s most unwieldy attraction, you’ve got to be broad-minded. The BLM is also looking at options such as walking tours of the camps, or a camp-to-camp trail. The aim is to preserve the sites and to convey the magnitude of the largest military training exercise ever, an exercise that changed men and changed history. As McKeever says: “If these guys didn’t have the proper training who knows how the world would be today.” The Sands of Hyder The Desert Training Center in World War II, By Rod Crossley (1997) The Patton Museum The Patton Museum The Official Web Site of Air Force Historical Research Agency: Historical Studies The environmental legacy of military operations By Judy Ehlen, Russell S.
