Brooks Air Force Base

Brooks Air Force Base is a closed United States Air Force facility, located in San Antonio, Texas. It was closed on 30 September 2011.
In 2002 Brooks Air Force Base was renamed Brooks City-Base when the property was conveyed to the Brooks Development Authority as part of a unique project between local, state, and federal government. The Brooks Development Authority is now the owner and operator of the property, and is redeveloping it as a science, business, and technology center. The Air Force was the largest tenant at Brooks City-Base.
Brooks Air Force Base was one of thirty-two Air Service, United States Army training camps established in 1918 after the United States entry into World War I, being established on 8 December 1917 as Kelly Field No. 5.〔William R. Evinger: ''Directory of Military Bases in the U.S.'', Oryx Press, Phoenix, Ariz., 1991, p. 147.〕 Flying at Brooks, however predates its military establishment, as the facility was known as Gosport Field prior to the first Army airplanes arriving on 5 December 1917.〔World War I Group, Historical Division, Special Staff, United States Army, Order of Battle of the United States Land Forces in the World War (1917–1919)〕〔Evinger, 1991; the name was derived from the flight instruction system in use at the time at the field.〕
==History==
Brooks Air Force Base was named to honor San Antonio aviator Sidney Johnson Brooks, Jr.〔Evinger, 1991.〕 Cadet Brooks died on 13 November 1917 when his Curtiss JN-4 nosed down as he prepared to land after a training flight at Kelly Field, TX. Brooks was one of the first to volunteer at the call for men for the American Flying Corps; he was in training for a commission as a military aviator.〔Location of U.S. Aviation Fields, The New York Times, 21 July 1918〕 He was awarded his wings and commission posthumously.
