Joint Army Air Force Adjustment Regulations No. 4-70-1, Transfer of Certain Real Property and Functions Pertaining Thereto

This regulation, short title JAAFAR 4-70-1, was published by the Departments of the Army and the Air Force, on June 14, 1948. It is important to the study of Air Force real property history for two reasons.

First, it discusses real estate policy for the newly-established Air Force. This document paved the way for early Air Force regulations governing real property, so we might consider it a distant ancestor of the current Air Force Policy Directive 32-10, Installations and Facilities, and its supporting Air Force instructions and Air Force handbook.

Second, this JAAFAR contains the list of installations initially transferred from the Army to the Air Force. It only lists large installations--no annexes or sites--but is still very fascinating.

The twelve pages of this document are shown below. My photocopy was made from an original in the Authority Section of the Air University Library, and I thank them for making it available.
