History

Edwards Air Force Base is a United States Air Force base located on the border of Kern County, California County and Los Angeles County, California in the Antelope Valley. Edwards has been an air base since 1933, when a cadre arrived from March AFB Field in Riverside, California to lay out a bombing range for bomb crews and to set up tents. It is six nautical miles (11 km) southwest of the central business district of North Edwards, California and 7 miles (11 km) due east of Rosamond, California It is named in memory of US Air Force test pilot Glen Edwards (pilot) Edwards, who died at the base while testing the YB-49 Flying Wing.

Originally known as the Muroc Army Air Field, the base was renamed on December 8 1949 in memory of US Air Force test pilot Glen Edwards (pilot) Edwards (1918-48), who died 18 months earlier while testing the Northrop YB-49 flying wing. Previous names of Edwards AFB were: * Muroc Lake Bombing and Gunnery Range, Sep 1933 * Army Air Base, Muroc Lake, 23 Jul 1942 * Army Air Base, Muroc, 2 Sep 1942 * Muroc Army Airfield, 8 Nov 1943 * Muroc Air Force Base, 12 Feb 1948.
