U. S. Army Air Warning Service

1943 or 1944

On the steps of City Hall
The US Army Air Warning Service used the top of the Krueger Brewery on Belmont Avenue as the lookout post.  Their job was to spot planes and call them in to the center to make sure they were friendly.  Watches were in four hour shifts, 24 hours a day.  After their watch the men could get a free beer in the brewery.
