Event Details

The City of San Diego was profoundly changed by World War II. The population nearly doubled between 1940 and 1943. During that period, 1,500 people a week were moving into San Diego and entire new neighborhoods, such as Linda Vista, grew up. Balboa Park was rapidly transformed into a navy training base and San Diego became a hub for military activity in the Pacific. This talk includes a slide show with newspaper headlines, photos and news reel footage from the period. Presented by Vincent Rossi.
