HeavyGunner Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Found this article pretty interesting and thought some on here would enjoy it. The only thing I wish it would've went more into was the 3 refineries around Sunburst, Kevin, Oilmont area and all the fuel storage that was there to fuel the war against the next attack in Alaska from Japan. I was told there was far more fuel stored there than any refinery has storage for today. Look at those little towns on google earth and you will see the the land is pock marked with retaining dikes from the 100000 barrel storage tanks. http://svcalt.mt.gov/education/textbook/Chapter19/Chapter19.pdf 2 Quote The problems we face today exist because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by the people who vote for a living.The government can only "give" someone what they first take from another.

carlotpilot Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 I have driven by at least one of those towns and wondered why the dikes were there but no tanks Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/41253-montanas-role-in-wwii/#findComment-299165 Share on other sites More sharing options...
