Fly. Temporary <a href="/wiki/Soil" title="Soil">dirt</a> runways were installed for usage by military and civilian planes. It was called <i>Fly Field</i>. </p><p>The outbreak of <a href="/wiki/World_War_II" title="World War II">World War II</a> transformed the civilian airport into the <b>Yuma Army Airfield</b>. Construction of facilities began on 1 June 1942 and was activated on 15 December </p><p>Yuma AAF was a single-engine flight training school, operated by the <a href="/wiki/Army_Air_Forces_Training_Command" title="Army Air Forces Training Command">Army Air Forces Flying Training Command</a>, West Coast Training Center, later <a href="/wiki/Western_Flying_Training_Command" class="mw-redirect" title="Western Flying Training Command">Western Flying Training Command</a>. Flying training began in January 1943.

The base operating unit was the 403d Army Air Force Base Unit.

In addition to the flying training, a Flexible Gunnery School was established at the airfield in November 1943. Flight training was discontinued on 23 April 1945 and gunnery training on 31 May 1945. </p><p>The base was closed on 1 November 1945.

In the mid-1950s, ADC was equipped almost solely with rocket-firing <a href="/wiki/F-86" class="mw-redirect" title="F-86">F-86D Sabre</a> and <a href="/wiki/F-89_Scorpion" class="mw-redirect" title="F-89 Scorpion">F-89C Scorpion</a> interceptors, and Headquarters USAF decided they should have their own training base. </p><p>Yuma Airport became the home of the 4750th Training Wing (Air Defense). The 4750th had two major components, the 4750th Training Group (Air Defense) and the 4750th Training Squadron. The group had two flying squadrons assigned – the 4750th TS equipped with six <a href="/wiki/F-86" class="mw-redirect" title="F-86">F-86D Sabres</a> and six <a href="/wiki/F-94_Starfire" class="mw-redirect" title="F-94 Starfire">F-94C Scorpions</a>: and the 4750th Tow Target Squadron equipped with twelve <a href="/wiki/T-33_Shooting_Star" class="mw-redirect" title="T-33 Shooting Star">T-33As</a> and eight <a href="/wiki/North_American_B-45_Tornado" title="North American B-45 Tornado">B-45As</a> used to <a href="/wiki/Target_tug" title="Target tug">tow targets</a> for the live fire portion of the course. </p> <figure class="mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Yumaaaf-gunneryschoolpatch.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/12/Yumaaaf-gunneryschoolpatch.jpg/125px-Yumaaaf-gunneryschoolpatch.jpg" decoding="async" width="125" height="125" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/12/Yumaaaf-gunneryschoolpatch.jpg/188px-Yumaaaf-gunneryschoolpatch.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/12/Yumaaaf-gunneryschoolpatch.jpg/250px-Yumaaaf-gunneryschoolpatch.jpg 2x" data-file-width="500" data-file-height="500" /></a><figcaption>Patch from the Flexible Gunnery School, Yuma AAB</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:4750_air_defense_wg-emblem.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b0/4750_air_defense_wg-emblem.jpg/125px-4750_air_defense_wg-emblem.jpg" decoding="async" width="125" height="146" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b0/4750_air_defense_wg-emblem.jpg/188px-4750_air_defense_wg-emblem.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b0/4750_air_defense_wg-emblem.jpg/250px-4750_air_defense_wg-emblem.jpg 2x" data-file-width="348" data-file-height="407" /></a><figcaption>Emblem of the 4750th Air Defense Wing</figcaption></figure> <p>The first ADC squadron arrived at Yuma for the Rocketry Proficiency Program on 1 February 1954. ADC squadrons rotated through Yuma on a regular basis for a two-week proficiency program that included <a href="/wiki/Live-fire_exercise" class="mw-redirect" title="Live-fire exercise">live-fire exercises</a> over the <a href="/wiki/Williams_AFB" class="mw-redirect" title="Williams AFB">Williams AFB</a> and <a href="/wiki/Luke_AFB" class="mw-redirect" title="Luke AFB">Luke AFB</a> gunnery ranges. </p><p>The two-week course included a controller course, many hours in the F-86D simulator and at least one 'live fire' mission flown each day. The targets, usually towed behind B-45A tow ships, were 9'x45' target sleeves, with two radar reflectors attached for the interceptor fire control systems to lock onto. Most of the <a href="/wiki/Temporary_duty_assignment" title="Temporary duty assignment">TDY</a> personnel were quartered in tents near the flight line, at least until April 1954 when the first permanent barracks buildings were finished and air conditioned. By June, seven ADC units had rotated through the Yuma program. </p><p>Also Headquarters USAF decided to add a separate air-to-air rocketry competition to the annual USAF gunnery meet that was held at <a href="/wiki/Nellis_Air_Force_Base" title="Nellis Air Force Base">Las Vegas Air Force Base</a> (renamed <i>Nellis Air Force Base</i> in 1950). The Interceptor Phase of the competition would be held at Yuma between 20 June and 27 June 1954. The competition would take place each year, with the last occurring in 1956. </p><p>Several changes occurred during the last half of 1954. On 24 August, Yuma County Airport was redesignated <b>Yuma Air Force Base</b>. On 1 September, the 4750th Training Wing became the 4750th Air Defense Wing (Weapons). The 4750th Group and squadrons were also redesignated. And on 8 January 1955, the 4750th Tow Target Squadron became the 17th TTS. Between July 1954 and the end of the year, ADC rotated eleven more squadrons through the Yuma program – nine in F-86Ds, and one each in F-94Cs and F-89Ds. </p><p>On 1 January 1956, the 4750th Drone Squadron was established as part of the 4750th ADW (Weapons). They were equipped with the brand new <a href="/wiki/Ryan_Firebee" title="Ryan Firebee">Ryan Q-2A Firebee</a> drone, which was launched from <a href="/wiki/A-26_Invader" class="mw-redirect" title="A-26 Invader">GB-26C Invader</a> aircraft. Although the drones were in place by spring, the first GB-26Cs did not arrive until June, and the first Firebee flight took place in July. The Q-2A Firebees were recovered by <a href="/wiki/Piasecki_H-21" title="Piasecki H-21">H-21 helicopters</a> after landing on the desert floor. </p><p>Yuma AFB was renamed on 13 October 1956 as <b>Vincent Air Force Base</b>, the installation was named for <a href="/wiki/Clinton_D._Vincent" class="mw-redirect" title="Clinton D.
