The Evreux-Fauville Air Base Alumni website was created in October 1999 following discussions between Charlie Spicka and Ed Merck, both members of the 40th Troop Carrier Squadron more than 45 years ago. The intent is that this website will anchor the new Evreux Alumni maillist to renew friendships and inspire interesting discussions among those who flew in and out of the base in France.
