Plan to Build Six Air Bases Across Regions
Army air corps officers map six new bases authorized by a Wilcox bill at $120 million. Alaska likely hosts the first field, with Fairbanks a top candidate, while Portland, Seattle, Denver, Miami, and sites in North Carolina or Georgia vie for others. Continuous intermediate fields will be added as locations are finalized.
