Been here before? Find out What's New! Last update October 3, 2024 This website shares some of my research into the history, design, and use of U.S. Air Force installations and, to a lesser degree, Army Nike missile facilities, coastal gun batteries, and unusual Naval facilities. My focus is on the 20th Century, primarily World War II and the Cold War. I don't keep up with current events. This information does not reflect the views of the U.S. Air Force or U.S. Army. My status is purely unofficial. I use official documents for most of my research, but the interpretation and conclusions are strictly my own. Trip Reports - Follow my travels as I search for military properties of the past. Places - Starting in 2025, I'll add pages here dedicated to individual places or groups of similar places. Army Air Forces (AAF)/United States Air Force (USAF) - Returning in 2025 will be updated pages related to WWII-era and Cold War-era installations. Uploads - Starting in 2025 I'll upload reference documents, many of which I scanned myself and are not yet available online. I started this website on June 25, 1998, as a free site on tripod.com. I obtained the domain name airforcebase.net on April 17, 2000. Feel free to contact me at historian at airforcebase dot net.Updated October 3, 2024
