Did you know the SC State Library has a digitized SC books collection? Here's a photo of Capt. Grady L. Patterson Jr. and a ground crew with their F-80 during 1954 from "S.C.A.N.G. THE FIRST 25 YEARS". This book recounts the 25-year history of the SC Air National Guard. It reflects on a heritage left by citizen-soldiers in service throughout the world.
