Naval Air Station (NAS) Albany, located in Albany, Georgia, was originally established as Turner Field by the U.S. Army Air Forces in 1941. During World War II, the base served as a training site for bomber crews and later functioned as a Strategic Air Command base during the early Cold War era. In 1967, control of the installation shifted to the U.S. Navy, becoming NAS Albany and serving as the home of Reconnaissance Attack Wing One, which operated the A-3 Skywarrior and A-5 Vigilante aircraft. The base was closed in 1974, with its facilities transferred to the Marine Corps, where it became part of the Marine Corps Logistics Base Albany.
