A BRIEF HISTORY OF NAVAL AIR STATION (NAS), WHIDBEY ISLAND, WASHINGTON

In January 1941, a few months before the US entered the 2nd World War, an order came forth from the Chief of Naval Operations' Office to the 13th Naval District. The order asked the commandant to scout for a place where Navy patrol planes could refuel and rearm in defense of Puget Sound, should such an occasion ever arise.

Land was chosen near Oak Harbor, on Whidbey Island. Construction was hastened after the entry of the US into the 2nd World War. The air base was finally commissioned on September 21st, 1942 as the Naval Air Station Whidbey Island. The land plane site was renamed Ault Field in memory of Commander William B. Ault, who died in the Battle of Coral Sea.
