In 1942, the Navy leased a newly built airfield in the Pine Barrens. The next year it established Naval Air Station Atlantic City there. During World War II, the base trained carrier air groups and fighter pilots. The site is now home to Atlantic City International Airport and the FAA Technical Center.
