History
The airport was constructed in 1942 and was commissioned in January 1943 as Leesburg Army Airfield (AAF). It was used as a United States Army Air Forces training airfield by the Army Air Force School of Applied Tactics at Orlando Army Air Base. Leesburg was a sub-base of Alachua AAF with the 901st Army Air Force Base Unit being the host unit for the station.
The 313th Fighter Squadron was assigned to the airfield from 5 January-17 November 1943 training students with the P-40 Warhawk, with the 1158th School Squadron providing instruction in twin-engine fighter aircraft (predominately the P-38 Lightning). Leesburg was also a repair depot with several aircraft supply and ground maintenance units.
The airfield was closed after the end of World War II and the facility was turned over to the City of Leesburg.
