This book details the history of the Naval Air Station Dallas, Texas, from its commissioning on May 15, 1941, and the anticipation of building a Navy aviation training site to the lowering of its command flag on September 26,1998-then the move West to become Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base, Fort Worth. Originally, Dallas's station would train pilots destined for combat throughout the world during World War II and after became a site to maintain flying skills of these pilots in the Naval Reserve program. NAS Dallas was in essence a force in readiness, and during the years after the war, it provided support of active squadrons and units as they served in the fleet or at commands throughout the world. NAS Dallas also provided training facilities for the Marine Air Reserve, Texas Air National Guard, Army Air Reserve, and other reserve units. Today, the reserve program is an important part of our active forces and ready to blend with its year-round active members when needed. Along with all the nation's reserve, the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard are ready, trained, and equipped to respond.
