(Coos Bay, Oregon) - World War II along the Oregon coast meant some vast changes for everyone – just as throughout the United States. But here, it meant people guarding the shores, often quite literally, with soldiers patrolling beaches on foot and various aircraft keeping an eye on things. It also meant secret or semi-secret installations all over the coastline. Patrol base camps, runways, forts of one kind or another and actual radar stations housed in secret bunkers dotted the region. (Photos Steven Greif, Coos HIstory Museum)
