As Manv congressional and local officials felt the new air base should be located south of Ogden, near the old Ogden Arsenal, a military storage facility of World War I era. Ogden Chamber of Commerce and other Ogden organizations joined in the effort to induce the War Department to establish the air base near the arsenal.

Browning, chairman of the Ogden Chamber's military affairs committee, noted the danger of having Utah passed over altogether if the various cities began pulling for their selfish interests. In 1939, Washington announced plans to spend more than $8 million for an Army Air base in the vicinity of Ogden, and in August of that year President Roosevelt signed an appropriations bill authorizing construction of the base at a 0 3679 Wall CI OtD PIONEER' SE-20- A on your 30th Successful year " ho"r Captain edinacLshatwig in i F 1935. fllGHT-- Name Chosen The name was chosen by Department, I the wl T and nouncement made by SecrL", of War Woodring.
