The McCook Nebraska US Army Air Base Historical Society is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the history of the US Army Air Base that was located in McCook, Nebraska during World War II. The base played a crucial role in training pilots and aircrews for the war effort, and many of the men who trained there went on to serve in some of the most important missions of the war.

The society was founded in 1981, and its members have worked tirelessly to collect and preserve artifacts, documents, and other materials related to the base and its history. They have assembled a rich collection of photographs, uniforms, equipment, and other items that offer a fascinating glimpse into the daily life of the base and the men who served there.

The society's headquarters is located in the McCook Municipal Airport, which was built on the site of the former air base. The museum features exhibits on the history of the base, as well as displays of military aircraft, vehicles, and other equipment. It also hosts events and educational programs throughout the year, including a popular annual air show that draws visitors from across the region.

Overall, the McCook Nebraska US Army Air Base Historical Society is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the US military and the role that Nebraska played in the war effort. Its dedicated members have worked hard to ensure that the legacy of the base and its veterans is not forgotten, and their efforts have helped to preserve an important piece of American history for future generations.
