==History==
Established by the United States Army Air force in 1942. Became first USAAF helicopter training school in June 1944. Black aviators, including a group of Tuskegee Airmen, trained at Freeman Field. In April 1945, black officers tried to integrate an officers' club resulting in what became known as the "Freeman Field Mutiny". The mutiny is generally regarded by historians of the Civil Rights Movement as an important step toward full integration of the armed forces and as a model for later efforts to integrate public facilities through civil disobedience.
After the end of World War II, Freeman AAF became a storage depot of many captured German and Italian aircraft (Operation Lusty). Training at the field had stopped and it became the site for the storage of American and foreign aircraft. Freeman Field was closed and declared surplus on December 30, 1946. It was deactivated in November 1948.
