A bright future for Dyess, community partners
The Abilene Chamber of Commerce bought the land for Dyess to be built on in the early 1940s Sept. 10, 2011, at Dyess Air Force Base, Texas. After Tye Army Airfield was closed in 1942, the government sold the land to the city of Abilene for one dollar. Abilene would later sell the land back to the government asking that they bring the base back. It was re-opened on April 8, 1943 and renamed Abilene Army Air Base. (Courtesy photo)
