Been here before? Find out What's New! Last update 30 April 2024 This page shares some of my research into the history, design, and use of U.S. Air Force installations. I gather information on bases used by the Air Force and it's predecessors (Army Air Forces, Army Air Corps, and Air Service), as well as Nike missile facilities operated by the U.S. Army. My focus is on 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. 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. Army Air Forces (AAF) - Returning in 2025 will be updated pages related to WWII-era installations. United States Air Force - (USAF) - Returning in 2025 will be updated pages related to Cold War-era installations. Personal - I do have other interests than military buildings!
