Local Author Tim Carroll will discuss his book World War II Akron, which has many great pictures and stories, including many from Summit County, and the Goodyear blimps.

Meet local author Tim Carroll and hear him discuss his new book World War II Akron.  World War II Akron tells the stories of the men who served in World War II from Summit County, including many of the soldiers killed in the war. Blimps built by Goodyear hunted German and Japanese submarines in the war, and the book is filled with great photos of Goodyear U.S. Navy blimps in action. Other topics to be covered will be the Dogs for Defense program, Congressional Medal of Honor winners, The Boy Scout draft, the Fathers draft, and a thorough history of Summit County during World War II.
