Sites related to Edwards Air Force Base, located 20 miles east of Rosamond. Edwards AFB was named for Captain Glen W. Edwards, killed during the crash of a YB-49 "Flying Wing" on June 5, 1948.
Edwards Air Force Base occupies territory once explored by Spanish colonists and settled by pioneer homesteaders. The military base began as a stark and remote bombing range in 1933 and went on to become a major bomber training base in World War II. The Air Force Flight Test Center originated during the darkest days of the war, and has since achieved more major milestones in flight than anywhere else in the world.
