Bakalar Air Force Base
Bakalar Air Force Base is a former United States Air Force base located north-northeast of Columbus, Indiana.
Opened during World War II, the base was a training base for medium-range C-46 and C-47 troop carrier planes and glider pilots. It also was used for training B-25 Mitchell and B-26 Marauder bomber crews. Reactivated during the Cold War, It was used as an Air Force Reserve training base for troop carrier, tactical airlift and special operations flying units. The base was closed in 1970.
==History==
It was established as a U.S. Army Air Forces installation initially known as Atterbury Air Base. It was named in honor of Brigadier General W.W. Atterbury. A graduate of Yale University, General Atterbury later became president of the Pennsylvania Railroad.〔(History pages from the Atterbury-Bakalar Air Museum website )〕
The base was renamed Bakalar Air Force Base in a formal dedication ceremony held November 13, 1954, in honor of First Lieutenant John Edmond Bakalar, USAAF. A native of Hammond, Indiana, 1st Lt Bakalar, of the 353rd Fighter Squadron, 354th Fighter Group, was killed in action September 1, 1944, over France when his P-51D-5 Mustang, AAF Ser. No. ''44-13895'', crashed.〔〔http://www.aviationarchaeology.com/src/AARmonthly/Sep1944O.htm〕
