Most who drive William Northern Boulevard in Tullahoma have never asked whose name is on the sign that leads to the airport. Some of the people who work here couldn't tell you who he was either. That is the strange arithmetic of human memory. One short life, reduced to a word on a green sign, kept clean and tidy by people who never knew the man behind it.
Welcome to the Tennessee Ghosts and Legends Podcast. My name is Lyle Russell. I am your host, and I love a good ghost story. Today, have I got a ghost story for you. However, this episode is a little different from what you're used to hearing on this podcast. There are no plantation spirits, no cryptids in the tree line, no UFOs landing in Nashville, and no lights floating over haunted railroad tracks. The story you are about to hear is stranger than any of those things because this ghost story is true. Every word of it. And it started right here, in the woods east of Tullahoma, Tennessee, in the winter of 1944. Welcome to the Ghost Army.
