Quoting from the book's dedication page: "To everyone who thinks Oklahoma is a flyover state, the joke is on you."

The book we’re featuring for this episode is Tinkertown: A Wheatfield, an Airbase, and Us, about the founding of Midwest City near Tinker AFB, and a memoir of sorts for author Jim Willis, but also a peek into the fascinating history of Midwest City, a history perhaps not many fully know. From planes to ponies, it’s a unique place.
