Barnwell Army Airfield was built to
serve as a satellite base to the
Columbia Army Air Base during WWII.
Construction of the Barnwell base
began in September, 1942, with the
first plane landing three weeks
later. The base was completed in
April, 1943.
B-25 Bomber Crews trained here and
at bases in Greenwood, North and
Walterboro with bombing ranges
located at Lake Murray, Pontiac and
Poorman's located north of
Charleston.
After the war, the airport was
released to Barnwell County for
use as a general aviation airport.
