Scores of young aviators who passed through Selfridge s gates later achieved the rank of general officer, earning the base the nickname Home of the Generals. Selfridge Field illustrates the history of the base, with many images drawn from the collections of the Selfridge Military Air Museum and Mount Clemens Public Library. The development of American airpower, from crude biplanes to the supersonic F-16 fighter, is depicted in the photographic record of this historic military airfield.
