Problems Not New
/
Wichels, Ernest
[783]
[WICHELS-1964-783]

/

[719]
[WAYITWAS-2007-719]
Well into the 20th century, Vacaville, Fairfield, and Suisun remained small communities with slow-growing populations. By 1940, Fairfield had 1,312 residents. That growth pattern changed suddenly when construction of the Fairfield-Suisun Army Airfield began in 1942.
