1	Sun Jan 30 01:31 AM by PGV Flyer Circa 1952- The USAF operated a training squadron at Stallings Field in the early 50's. The field was constructed during WWII by the US Marine Corps. When the USAF began training operations from the field in 1951 it was named Stallings Field in honor of two brothers from Grainger, NC who were killed serving in the US Army Air Corps during WWII.
