Old Photos of Zamboanga Airport and EAAB
Here are some old photos of the Erwin Andrews Air Base, also the current Airport of Zamboanga City. I was asked to make a video presentation for the incoming officers so i had these files. I don't own these photos but i want to share it anyways. Here are also some important infos about the 3rd Air Division.
The History of 3AD traces its roots on 10 March 1945 when a group of US Army engineers constructed an airfield here in Zamboanga. Consequently, the First Combat Aircraft named “CORSAIR” made its historic landing, marking a milestone in aviation history in Mindanao. The need to maintain an Air Force in Southern Philippines paved the way for the activation of Edwin Andrews Air Base named in honor of LT Colonel Edwin Andrews, the first postwar chief of the Philippine Air Force whho perished in a plane crash while flying over mount Makaturing in Lanao del Sur in 1947.
