Gowen Field and Boise During World War II Oral History Project
In 2000 and 2001, Rachel Smythe conducted 5 interviews with people who worked and trained at Gowen Field during World War II. The narrators worked at Gowen Field as soldiers or civilians, dated or married soldiers from Gowen Field, or otherwise remembered the impact of the air base on Boise in the early 1940s. Smythe conducted the interviews as part of the research for her book Entertaining Strangers: Boise's World War II Love Affair with the Soldiers of Gowen Field.
