Jim:

I would suggest contacting the Suffolk County Historical Society in
Riverhead, the Huntington Historical Society in Huntington, the Oyster Bay
Historical Society in Oyster Bay, and probably also the Northrup-Grumman
Corporation. I'm sure that Northrup-Grumman must have a corporate archive on
the operations at Bethpage during WWII.

Hofstra University used to have a Long Island Studies Center. If they still
do, that might be another good source. There is an aviation museum at the
former Roosevelt Field, Garden City. I'm not sure if they cover history as
late as WWII; I think they might be more into the early years of flight.

I hope this has been helpful.
