base history
                                                         Bombing range
                                                         In addition to the base proper, bombing and gunnery training was conducted at a variety of
                                                         ranges near and far. One of the earliest bombing ranges in use was located in Dyer Coun-
                                                         ty, north of Highway 20, and stretching westward from the Obion River to the Mississippi River.

                                                         In addition to this Finley range, others were established locally near Ridgely (Lake County) and
                                                         Covington (Tipton County). Then, in May of 1944, the high altitude bombing range at Shelbyville
                                                         (Bedford County) was made available to crews for daytime practice, and a new 7,800-acre range
                                                         with a battleship target was opened near Chisholm Lake in Lauderdale County late in June 1944.

                                                         For the training of gunners on the ground, the Poorman’s Range was opened west of Halls,
                                                         north of Highway 88, and straddling the boundary between Lauderdale and Dyer Coun-
                                                         ties. For practice in air-to-ground gunnery, crews flew two-thirds of the way across the
                                                         state to use the Spencer (Van Buren County) range. Air-to-air practice carried the crews
                                                         some 600 miles south of the field to the Gulf of Mexico, off the coast of Gulfport, Mississippi.

  Programming
  Throughout the planning pro-
  cess for Stars and Stripes Village,
  programming decisions were
  made that helped drive the de-

                                                                                                   EDUCATE
  sign team to follow certain con-
  ceptual paths. As ideas were
  envisioned, the design team’s
  direction for the Stars and Stripes
  Village began to take shape.
  The team developed a series of
  goals and objectives that stood
  out from the rest, and it was de-
  cided that these principle ele-
  ments would serve as the guid-
  ing influences for the Stars and
  Stripes Village Master Plan.

  PRESERVE:
  The team wants to preserve the
  history and integrity of the for-
  mer Dyersburg Army Air Base
  and surrounding community.
  Three key elements to be pre-
  served and enhanced are the
  95-acre concrete apron, Nor-
  den bombsight storage vault,                                                                               PRESERVE
  and the former hangar building.

  EDUCATE:
  The team’s goal is to educate the public about the significant role the Air Base
  played in the history of Halls, TN and the world.

  GROW:
  The goal to grow the Museum and Air Base into a regional tourist’s destination
  is one of the most important. The goal is for the new investment to create new
  building and development opportunities for the Museum, Airshow, private en-
  terprise, and surrounding industry.

  The Conceptual Diagram Studies and photos are examples of relationship stud-
  ies between the various uses of the Village and the surrounding community.
  The photos help put a visual image to some of the more abstract ideas in the
                                                                                                   GROW

                                                            process for the design team. A series of sketches were created that put shapes and forms to
                                                            some of the abstract elements developed in the Conceptual Programing phase. The illustra-

  • 7. Historical AERIAL PHOTO Historic air base The Dyersburg Army Air Base (DAAB) was promoted by Congress- man Jere Cooper and solicited by local officials of Dyersburg in 1941. The base was located near the edge of Halls, Tennessee because an Army study indicated that the Lauderdale County site was better suited for the base. Construction began in March 1942 and continued until the Army deactivated the base in 1945. The base area totaled 2,541 acres, not including practice ranges. The Base was one of the largest combat crew training schools built during the early war years. It was the only inland B-17 training base east of the Mississippi River. Approximately 7,700 crewmen re- ceived their last phase training at DAAB. 115 crewmen lost their lives. Life on the base Dyersburg Army Air Base had 3 active concrete runways with room to add an additional 3 for a total of 6 runways. The base also contained Dyersburg Army Air Base a hospital, libraries, an Olympic-sized swimming pool, and a 600-seat (DAAB) movie theater. Barracks were moved from other sites, and the soldiers built many for themselves. However, very little housing was available for families. Cit- izens in Brownsville, Ripley, Halls, and Dyersburg made room for the in- flux of wives, mothers and children who wanted to spend a short time with their soldiers before they were deployed to the European theatre. Attics, garages, and closets were transformed into sleeping areas. President Harry Truman visited the base during the war. Halls High School sent students and teachers to greet the President’s entourage as they landed at DAAB. Deactivation of the base When WWII ended in 1945, DAAB was quickly deactivated, and the base halls was dismantled. The land was sold, and barracks and guard shacks were moved to private property. The former morgue was moved and became a two-bedroom residence later occupied by a Mayor of Halls. PHOTO DATE: JULY 9, 1945 A2H ASKEW HARGRAVES HARCOURT & ASSOCIATES, INC.

  • 9. base history Bombing range In addition to the base proper, bombing and gunnery training was conducted at a variety of ranges near and far. One of the earliest bombing ranges in use was located in Dyer Coun- ty, north of Highway 20, and stretching westward from the Obion River to the Mississippi River. In addition to this Finley range, others were established locally near Ridgely (Lake County) and Covington (Tipton County). Then, in May of 1944, the high altitude bombing range at Shelbyville (Bedford County) was made available to crews for daytime practice, and a new 7,800-acre range with a battleship target was opened near Chisholm Lake in Lauderdale County late in June 1944. For the training of gunners on the ground, the Poorman’s Range was opened west of Halls, north of Highway 88, and straddling the boundary between Lauderdale and Dyer Coun- ties. For practice in air-to-ground gunnery, crews flew two-thirds of the way across the state to use the Spencer (Van Buren County) range. Air-to-air practice carried the crews some 600 miles south of the field to the Gulf of Mexico, off the coast of Gulfport, Mississippi. Bomb range information courtesy of Dr. H.

  • 11. base history DEACTIVATION In 1946 the US Army discontinued opera- tion of the Dyersburg Army Airbase. By the late 1950s, the base’s use was in decline, and the Airforce officially transferred the base to the Town of Halls and the former property owners. The Town of Halls cur- rently owns and manages the airport and the remaining runways and apron area. After the Army left Dyersburg, the land was returned to farmland and the farmers began growing crops. The Town of Halls took owner- ship of the concrete apron and runways. The property directly adjacent to the runways and existing road system began to devel- op into industrial property. The runways and apron have had many uses over the years. Local businesses have leased the apron from the city for a variety of business uses such as The concrete apron was used as a speed- auto auctions, trailer storage, lumber yards, way and for motor car races in the 1960s. and more. Many Halls residents experienced (The above photos were taken by Al Clemens in July 1967, their first time behind the wheel of daddy’s http://www.motoringinvestments.com/Y101.htm) In 1979 the Town of Halls opened and car on the apron of the former airbase.

  • 12. VETERANS’ MUSEUM VETERANS’ MUSEUM The Veterans’ Museum was built on the apron of the former Dyersburg Army Air Base in 1997. The base was operational from 1942-45, and was adjacent to the Town of Halls. The Museum honors veterans from World War II with displays, photographs, and history of the base. The exhibits connect wartime with the civilians in rural West Tennessee and portrays how everyone in the Halls area was af- fected by the base, as well as the War. The Museum also honors other veterans and active servicemen and wom- en with displays from the different wars and conflicts in which the United States has been involved. 1 2 The Museum is owned and operated by The Dyersburg Army Air Base Me- morial Association, Inc., a non-profit organization co-founded in 1992 by Pat Higdon and Martha Cites, both of Halls. The purpose of this Museum is to preserve materials and artifacts from WWI to date with emphasis on WWII, as a reminder to the older generations and to educate the younger generations about their heritage. The first Museum was built in 1997. The collection of artifacts more than filled the 4,000 sq. ft. facility; and, in 2004, the Edith Tanner Center was built. Total footage to date is 8,900 sq. ft. Pictures and documents from the National Archives, materials from WWI through Iraq, diaries, personal and official letters, technical publications and divisional histories, WWII and Korean military vehicles, uniforms, and videos excite adults and give 3 the young an opportunity to look at history personally. Unusual exhibits 4 for a private, non-profit museum are three of the murals painted by Ernie Berke while based at DAAB. Photographs of 72 crews are also displayed. Tim Bivens, who is one of the DAAB incorporators, has been able to secure these and many more pictures that reveal base life. 1.

  • 16. conceptual programming Programming Throughout the planning pro- cess for Stars and Stripes Village, programming decisions were made that helped drive the de- EDUCATE sign team to follow certain con- ceptual paths. As ideas were envisioned, the design team’s direction for the Stars and Stripes Village began to take shape. The team developed a series of goals and objectives that stood out from the rest, and it was de- cided that these principle ele- ments would serve as the guid- ing influences for the Stars and Stripes Village Master Plan. PRESERVE: The team wants to preserve the history and integrity of the for- mer Dyersburg Army Air Base and surrounding community. Three key elements to be pre- served and enhanced are the 95-acre concrete apron, Nor- den bombsight storage vault, PRESERVE and the former hangar building. EDUCATE: The team’s goal is to educate the public about the significant role the Air Base played in the history of Halls, TN and the world. GROW: The goal to grow the Museum and Air Base into a regional tourist’s destination is one of the most important. The goal is for the new investment to create new building and development opportunities for the Museum, Airshow, private en- terprise, and surrounding industry. The Conceptual Diagram Studies and photos are examples of relationship stud- ies between the various uses of the Village and the surrounding community. The photos help put a visual image to some of the more abstract ideas in the GROW conceptual planning phase. A2H ASKEW HARGRAVES HARCOURT & ASSOCIATES, INC.

Many of these are illustrated and includ- ed in the following Master Plan. The team was impressed by the assets in DAAB, the Veterans’ Museum, and the Town of Halls. These include its proximity to major transportation routes and metropolitan areas, their strong history and regional significance, the intact downtown core and ongoing revitaliza- tion efforts of the town, and the area’s friendly people and natural resources. These assets, combined with the current leadership and citizen involvement, position the Stars and Stripes Village for a thriving and prosperous future.
