Looking for books/resources for 1940's US military architecture...

Architecture as in bases and fortifications?

Naval Air Stations base design and construction, specifically. But I’m looking for more general texts about base design and theory during the 1940’s.

I don’t have a perfect thing to recommend, though maybe consult a research librarian at a navy or air force base library (or even a local public library).

Thanks Zaku!

I found a couple of good resources in my reading:
– There’s the Pacific branch of the National Archives in San Bruno
– This book: http://www.stormingmedia.us/09/0966/A096662.html

The NAS in question is actually in the “Streamline Moderne” style, so I’m also looking for books on that architectural form.

ok i know i go a little crazy on links but i LOVE research…

World War II: Military Operations
From a strategic perspective, what is most significant about World War II is that it featured the first use of truly global tactics for offensive operations. Military operations launched from the sea on to hostile shores – amphibious warfare – proved to be a successful strategy during the war, as shown by Operation Overlord, the Allied invasion of Normandy in June 1944. The surprise attack, as demonstrated by the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor in December 1941, was also critical to military victory.
