World War II
Aerial view of the Naval Air Station Denver in the late 1940s
During the early years of World War II the city of Denver purchased a 5,740-acre (23 km2) parcel of land several miles east of the city and donated it to the Department of the Army. The site was named Buckley Field after 1st Lt. John Harold Buckley, a Longmont, Colorado, native, who was killed while on a combat strafing mission behind enemy lines in France on September 17, 1918.
Under the command of the 336th AAF Base Unit (Army Air Forces Technical Training Command), construction on this air base began in early 1942, and that resulted in the construction of over 700 buildings. On 1 July 1942, the U.S. Army Air Corps Technical Training School there opened. It consisted of bombardier and armorer training for air crewmen on the B-17 Flying Fortress and B-24 Liberator bomber, also an Arctic Training School for Air crew headed for the Alaskan Wing of the Air Transport Command. During WWII, Buckley Field also trained over 50,000 airmen in initial basic training.
In February 1947, the base, always the center of multi-service operations, became Naval Air Station Denver (NAS Denver). In April 1960, NAS Denver was transferred from the U.S. Navy to the U.S. Air Force and renamed Buckley Air National Guard Base, becoming the first stand alone Guard base in the Air Force. End Quote
The first line on the jacket could be - NAS Denver CO
Second line maybe - Buckley FLD
