Camp Haan California Vintage Tablecloth Camp Haan was opened in 1941 and closed in 1946. At one point it housed 80 thousand people. Large enough to draw a visit from Jack Benny! It was used as an artillery base, was the front line for West Coast defense and held Italian and German Prisoners of War. I think the AA stands for Anti Aircraft (Artillery). I have run across several of these Camp cloths but this is the only time I've seen this one. This is from my personal historical tablecloth collection. It does have a couple of light yellow stains at the top that I did not try to remove. Faint stain by Hollywood is really hard to see on the table. Size: 36 X 30 Fabric Content: Midweight cotton Dye Condition: Gently faded Holes/Tears: None Stains: Two light yellow stains at the top of the tablecloth. Faint stain by Hollywood is barely visible
