Author
Interview: Martin Middlewood – Hidden History of Pearson Field
On
this episode of NW Book Talk, we sit down with longtime writer Martin
Middlewood, whose weekly Clark County History column has become a
local favorite.
Martin’s new book, Hidden History of Pearson Field,
opens the hangar doors on one of America’s oldest continuously operating
airfields—right here in Vancouver, Washington.
He shares the surprising stories
behind Pearson’s early daredevils and community champions (both men and women),
the everyday workers who kept planes flying, and the pivotal moments when the
airfield shaped the city’s identity.
Whether you’re an aviation buff, a local
history fan, or simply curious about the place you call home, this conversation
reveals little knows facts, historic surprises and memorable characters that
bring Pearson Field to life.
