We have a small collection of arrow heads there. She had an eye for copper and collected items through the years and had gifts from various friends. Mrs. Johnson gave a tour of the house in 1968 that was filmed and where she featured the china you see here purchased in mexico. Very colorful. First lady mrs. Johnson spent a lot of time at the ranch.

One of the big reasons they took the iwo jimas, they would fly 1,000 miles, but they had to go over iwo jima to get to tokyo. So tokyo, i mean iwo jima would forewarn them by radar and they also had pursuit planes there that could shoot down the inj e injured b29s when they were returning.

And if you look out at about a 45degree angle from here, we see the two doors where the bombers would come off the Assembly Line after they were built. Theres a lot of stories that lead up to the building of this factory. With the war in europe turning hot. When the blitzkrieg took place in the low countries, the u. S. Was totally unprepared.
