Line 105 ⟶ 102: ===Andrews Air Force Base=== [[File:FMApic2.jpg\|thumb\|left\|Andrews AFB and Joint Base Andrews are named for [[Lieutenant General]] [[Frank Maxwell Andrews]] (1884–1943), former Commanding General of United States Forces in the World War II [[European Theater of Operations]]. General Andrews organized and commanded the General Headquarters, Air Force (1935–1939), and at the time of his death on 3 May 1943 in the crash of a [[B-24 Liberator]] in Iceland, he was Commanding General, United States Forces, European Theater of Operations.]] '''Andrews Air Force Base''' was designated on 24 June 1948, and in June 1950, Andrews rapidly became involved in combat readiness training for [[B-25 Mitchell]] medium bomber crews. Combat readiness training and proficiency flying for military pilots assigned non-flying duties in the Washington area have remained two key elements in the local mission since the establishment of the base. HQ Air Research and Development Command (later, [[Air Force Systems Command]]) moved to Andrews from [[Baltimore]], 24 June 1958. With the construction of new facilities beginning in 1959, Andrews had become by early 1962 the primary USAF flight installation serving the Washington, DC, area with the closing of the runway at [[Bolling AFB]]. Andrews' air defense role was strengthened in the 1950s with the latest in fighter-interceptor hardware appearing on the flight line. [[F-94 Starfire]]s, [[F-102 Delta Dagger]]s and finally, [[F-106 Delta Dart]]s formed the backbone of the three fighter interceptor squadrons which operated from the base until 1963.<ref>Ravenstein, Charles A.
