  • Amateur plane-spotting during WWII increased, e.g. in Colchester VT in 1944, "Among the several Chief Observers during both airwatches, Mrs. Ida Stetson carried the greatest number of hours. Early in 1944, Mrs. Nellie Heath, Mrs. Martha St. Amour, Mrs. Bessie Stanley and Mrs. Frances Sweeney received merit awards for more than 300 hours of planespotting." In Ruth Wright Paulsen, History of the Town of Colchester (Burlington VT: Queen City Printers, 1963), 168. The numbers of groups and spotters increased through the 1950s and '60s, often being compared to amateur bird-watchers, but with strong associations with wartime, especially World War II. See e.g. Ann Angel Eberhardt, "Plane Spotting in the 1950s", Small Town Memories (blog on Shenango Valley PA): https://bissella9.wordpress.com/plane-spotting-in-the-1950s/; also discussed regarding Kansas in the 1950s/60s in Richard J. Loosbrock, The History of the Kansas Department of American Legion (Topeka: Kansas Department of the American Legion, 1968), 152.
