AAF/USAF: List of Air Force Plants
First published in 2003. Reformatted 2025.Introduction
This is an attempt to list all official designations of "Air Force Plant." At the end of the list, I include a few installations that were NOT designated as Air Force plants, but perhaps could have been, based on their function. In addition to installation directories and stacks of official orders, I am indebted to Mark Morgan, Michael Binder, and Ron Plante for sharing their knowledge on this subject. Air Force plants have served many functions. When known, I've listed the general purpose of each plant--but I've not attempted to get into the weeds with every specific product or function. Many of the plants started their military careers in WWII, as government- or contractor-owned defense plants. Some were purpose-built for their Air Force roles. A few of the plants later became Air Force bases. Others are located on or adjacent to Air Force bases or other installations. A handful of the plants are still active government installations.Air Force Plants Inventory
