Celebrating 100 Years of Marine Corps Air Facility

Lt. Col. Daniel Murphy, commanding officer of Marine Corps Air Facility (MCAF) Quantico, and Annette Amerman, branch head and historian of Marine Corps History Division at Quantico, speak of MCAF's significance with Marine Corps aviation since its establishment in 1919. Known as "the cradle of Marine aviation," MCAF was a prime location to test aircraft capabilities, beginning with air balloon spotting, smoke screens, dive bombing and torpedo bombing, and much more. It is also the location of Marine Helicopter Squadron 1, better known as HMX-1 or the presidential squadron, where they still test vertical envelopment for aircraft while directly supporting the president of the United States.
