Abstract:
This report presents the transcripts of oral history interviews conducted as part of an effort to document the construction and World War II-era operations of the Indiana Army Ammunition Plant (INAAP), Charlestown, Indiana.

As part of the larger project to develop the national historic context of seven sample installations on a state and local level, the major focus of the project at INAAP was to document the impacts that the facility had on the state and local enviromnents.
