US 5th Air Force and Camden Airfield's Untold Story from World War Two

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: This blog post explores how the US Air Force assessed Camden Airfield during World War II, conducting assessments in 1942 and 1944. Initially deemed a minor installation, it underwent significant upgrades by 1944. Although American forces never occupied it, Camden's potential transformation into a garrison town raised concerns about the community impact of RAAF and RAF personnel at the airfield between 1940 and 1946. This is an updated post from 2015.
