Dyersburg Army Airfield
Halls, Tennessee
The airfield located one half mile east of here was in operation from 1942 to 1945. Thousands of airmen took their last statewide training here before going into combat overseas. Training received here in flying B-17 Flying Fortresses played a key role in preparing U.S. bomber crews for combat in World War II.
Marker is on Jefferson Davis Highway (U.S. 51) ½ mile north of Industrial Road, on the right when traveling south.
