In Wisconsin multiple airfields were constructed and used by the United States Army Air Forces during World War II. The main purpose of these installations was for training pilots and aircrews of USAAF fighters and bombers.
A majority of the Wisconsin airfields were under the command of First Air Force or the Army Air Forces Training Command (AAFTC) and the other USAAF support commands (Air Technical Service Command (ATSC); Air Transport Command (ATC) or Troop Carrier Command) commanded a significant number of airfields in support roles.
