Comments: | Informative site! Former servicemen/women who served at Ardmore Army Air Field (1942-46) or Ardmore Air Force Base (Okla) (1953-59), be aware that a website is available with a chronological history of both activation periods. During WWII, the base was a glider pilot, B-26, B-17 Combat Crew Training School with hundreds of crews training there prior to going overseas. During the Korean period, the 463rd Troop Carrier Wing, 16th TCS, 309th TCG, 419th TCS were stationed there. The Fairchild C-123B and the Hercules C-130A had their initial USAF introduction at the base. Appreciate information, pictures, etc. that would help make this historical site even more complete. Please pass the word to relatives of deceased WWII service persons who served there. Thanks in advance! |
