For its first three years, the academy was housed at Lowry Air Force Base, Colorado,[1] adjacent to Denver, until August 1958.[2] Until Falcon Stadium opened in 1962, Air Force played home games at DU Stadium at the University of Denver.[3]

    Led by second-year head coach Buck Shaw, it was the third season for the football program. The Falcons finished with a record of 3–6–1.

    Air Force did not play ArmyorNavy this season; Army was first played in 1959 and Navy in 1960.
