About Kirtland AFB, New Mexico
Kirtland AFB is a community of 3,838 people in Bernalillo County, on the southeast side of Albuquerque. The Air Force base there shares its runways with the Albuquerque International Sunport. The airfield story begins in 1928, when two men who worked for the Santa Fe Railroad teamed up with the town to grade a pair of runways on the East Mesa. New York businessman James G. Oxnard bought into the field late that year, and airlines soon flew passengers and mail from it between the Midwest and California.
The Army Air Corps leased 2,000 acres beside the airport in 1939. In January 1941 crews began building Albuquerque Army Air Base, with permanent barracks, warehouses and a chapel. The base opened on April 1, 1941, when a lone B-18 bomber landed with five pilots assigned to it. In February 1942 the Army renamed it Kirtland Army Air Field, and over the decades it grew into an Air Force base of 51,558 acres.
- Named for Roy C. KirtlandColonel Kirtland took up flying in 1911 at Dayton, Ohio, in one of the earliest Wright airplanes. In World War I he raised and led a regiment of mechanics. The Army called him back from retirement in 1941 at age 65, making him the oldest military pilot in the Air Corps. He died of a heart attack at Moffett Field, California, on May 2, 1941, and the base was named for him the next February.
- Half a dozen pilots per flightThe 19th Bombardment Group came from March Field, California, in April 1941 to train B-17 crews bound for Clark Field in the Philippines. With B-17s scarce, the men also flew B-18s, A-17s and Stearman biplanes and staged mock attacks on New Mexico villages and ranches. Lieutenant Colonel Eugene Eubank had his pilots cross-train, and each B-17 flight was said to carry six: two flying, two navigating, two practicing bomb runs.
- TWA's Four-Engine SchoolTWA picked Albuquerque for a school to train crews to ferry B-24 bombers to the Royal Air Force in Britain, because the field had a 10,000-foot runway and fair weather. The first trainees arrived on June 19, 1941, and doubled up in unfinished barracks. Over eight months, the airline's teachers prepared more than 1,100 pilots and crew members for the job.
- World's First Bombardier SchoolWhen the 19th Bombardment Group left, Major General Henry "Hap" Arnold moved the bombardier school here from Louisiana for the good weather and the open land for bombing ranges. It became an Advanced Flying School on December 24, 1941. Squadrons poured in the week after Pearl Harbor, so fast that engineering and supply ran out of pyramidal tents without heat. Colonel John P. Ryan, its director, won praise for organizing the nation's first permanent bombardier school so quickly.
