During World War II, the United States Army Air Forces established numerous airfields in Texas for training pilots and aircrews. The amount of available land and the temperate climate made Texas a prime location for year-round military training. By the end of the war, 65 Army airfields were built in the state.[1]
Alamo Field (today known as San Antonio International Airport). Used as an auxiliary field of Dyess Army Air Field and Brooks Field from 1942 until 1945.
