England Air Force Base
|
 |
Through its history as Alexandria Army Air Base, then Alexandria Air Force Base, and finally England Air Force Base (EAFB), our business was airplanes, and defense of the nation. We flew Old Glory proudly, and took our job seriously.
 |
Our aircraft arsenal was the best of its time: the B-17 Flying Fortress, F-86 Sabre, F-100 Super Sabre, the KB-29 Superfortress, the KB-50, the A-7 Corsair, the A-10 Warthog, and the rest of the fleet ... whatever the mission, we met the challenge.
 |
We flew the airplanes, maintained them and supported the entire effort.
We loved our work, and appreciated the time we spent in Alexandria-Pineville and the support we received from its citizens.
This base was one of several military camps in the Alexandria area created during World War II and part of the Louisiana Maneuvers including Camp Livingston and Camp Claiborne.
And in nearby Bossier City was located Barksdale Air Force Base.
The original photos in this website were taken in May, 2003, at what is now known as the England Airpark.

We were proud of the job we did at England Air Force Base! The Base is closed, and we've moved on. But the memories of the hard work and our fellow airmen and soldiers, and the good times, remain...
Take a tour of EAFB as it existed just a few years ago...
