On the north end of Oakland International Airport I used to see WWII
type wooden buildings and even one or two hangars that were associated
with the Navy, in the mid-70's. Mel Shettle's monumental work, "NAS's of
WWII" volume 2 (Western States) chronicles NAS Oakland. I vaguely
remember looking at a Mapquest or Terraserver aerial photo of the
airport and thinking I saw some outlying buildings I thought were Navy
remnants. It was a big NATS terminal.

Over a few beers today with a former Marine and sailor from the Fifties, "NAS
Oakland" was mentioned. The Marine recalled it was in the old section of what
is now Oakland Internatinal Airport. One of the surviving buildings may still
have Navy wings on it. Has anyone else heard of NAS OAKLAND?
