From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
McGrath Army Airbase is former United States Army airbase located in McGrath,[1] a city in the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area of the U.S. stateofAlaska.
During its construction, equipment to construct the facility arrived too late in the season, as the ground had already frozen over. As a result, it was ordered that the equipment be brought to Umnak Island and Cold Bay, Alaska, which built Fort Glenn Army Airbase and Fort Randall Army Airfield, respectively. Both of those airfields later played a part in repelling the Japanese Attack on Dutch Harbor.[2]
