In 1931 the Army Air Corps Tactical School was looking for a site for a bombing and gunnery range and saw the potential of Valparaiso, Florida. This was surrounded by sparsely populated forested areas and faced the vast expanse of the Gulf of Mexico. Local boosters donated 1,450 acres and on 14 June 1935 the Valparaiso Bombing and Gunnery Base was activated. In Air Force tradition, it was renamed Eglin Field on 4 August 1937, in memory of Lieutenant Colonel Frederick I. Eglin, killed in January of that year in a plane crash. The looming prospect of war led to the ceding to the base of 384,000 acres from the Choctawhatchee National Forest in June 1940. The field became an Air Corps Proving Ground and a center for gunnery training and testing center during the war. In early 1946 the First Experimental Guided Missiles Group was activated at Eglin to oversee development of drone aircraft to support the Atomic Energy Commission Crossroads nuclear test at Eniwetok. On 13 January 1947, the Guided Missiles Group received nationwide publicity by conducting a successful drone flight from Eglin to Washington, D.C., in a simulated bombing mission. As the Cold War heated up, the highly-instrumented Eglin Gulf Test Range was built and supported flight tests of the Bomarc, Matador, Quail, and Hound Dog cruise missiles. Both the military and NASA used Eglin to support launch of sounding rockets in support of their programs. The Vietnam War brought a new emphasis on conventional weapons, and Eglin specialized in development of air-to-ground weapons and the AMRAAM air-to-air missile. Eglin was known to have been used for 441 launches from 1959 to 1980, reaching up to 686 kilometers altitude. The actual number of missile tests is many times greater. Launch Pads
