Malmstrom Air Force Base
Located in Great Falls, this base has a history dating back to World War II when the Great Falls Chamber of Commerce lobbied for a military base in the area. It was initially chosen as a training ground for heavy bombers like the B-17 Flying Fortress, but during the Cold War it shifted focus to air defense against potential Soviet attacks. The base was renamed in 1954 to honor Colonel Einar Axel Malmstrom, a WWII POW who died in a plane crash near the base.
For more information, please see the base website: Malmstrom Air Force Base
