The square mile that was Mines Field can be clearly seen. The property was bordered by Belleview Blvd to the south (now Imperial Hwy), Redondo Blvd to the east (now Aviation Blvd), San Antonio St to the north (now Century Blvd), and Arizona Ave to the west (now Sepulveda Blvd). This property is now part of the air freight complex at the Los Angeles International Airport.

Famous WW2 Quote
"You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word. It is victory. Victory at all costs. Victory in spite of all terrors. Victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival."

Winston Churchill
