Midway friend Bill Langletz Jr. shared these excellent photos of the Midway Island Hobby Shop at Special Services in the 1960’s. These photos were taken by Bill’s father, ADCS Bill Langlitz.

Bill and his father ADCS Bill Langlitz at Midway.
Was on Midway from 1970-1972. Worked at KMTH rado/TV/PAO on 2nd deck of terminal. Lived in barracks next to chow hall. Also, ran the Special Services darkroom and photo shop. Was one of the best duty stations in my 20 years active. Would love to go back there for a visit. Memories, how nice they are.

Hi Richard. Send me an email and I’ll get you back into the Midway Forum. precisionartists@gmail.com
Was there 63-64. Worked in Air Control Tower as an electronics tech. Also worked in the “receiver station” (radios) in the center of the three runways. Operated the cargo winches and booms on the civilian freighters pulled into port to off load food & supplies. Twice a week I helped work in the ceramic shop for a few extra dollars. After 6 months was flown to Hawaii for a three(3) day liberty, then back for another 6 months , Beautiful island and so many birds. Goodies get all the attention but there was many other species that were beautiful.sad what is happening with all the plastics😢
I was also there from April 1963 to April 1964. Was in the power plants shop in the AEW Squadron. Best duty I had in the Navy. Beautiful Island.
I was on the island April 1976 to June 1977. I did not think so then, but looking back it was the most memorable 14 months that I have ever spent. A very pleasant memory.
I was in the Air Force on Midway Island for a one yr tour in 1960 to 1961. I was there with 27 others, and I am trying to find a Sgt Duke–
and Gregery who were there with me. Both gentle men were from
Hawaii. I am trying to go to Hawaii and would like to look them up, but don’t have the last name. I know it has been a long time, but I figured I would try.
I was on Midway from March 1955 to September with VR21 detachment. We refueled flights from Japan and from Hawaii. I had a good buddy I have lost contact with, Donald Ward from Missouri,
Would like to hear from him.
I was there from June 76 to May 77. Met my husband there at the NavFac. Looking for a way to go back for our 50th anniversary (7/2027). It was magical place. I remember working mid watches and sneaking out to the beach to go “fish-balling” as well as braving the crowds of sand crabs while taking out bags of shredded messages from the comm shack. SO many memories!
That was June 76 to May 78!
