Under Ferrying (Air Transport) Command, Morrison AAF became a major aerial port of embarkation for ferried aircraft departing over the Atlantic Ocean on what became known as the "Southeastern route". The base operating unit at Morrison Field was the 1103d Army Air Force Base Unit. Under ATC, Morrison Field became the point of departure for many planes ferrying supplies to Europe and to Allied forces in the Asian theater. The airfield was transferred to Army Air Forces Ferrying Command (later Air Transport Command) on 19 January 1942, and for the balance of the war became Headquarters for the Caribbean Wing of ATC. In addition, aircraft from the airfield were assigned to "Project X", the ferrying of personnel, aircraft and equipment to the Philippines after the Pearl Harbor Attack. Third Air Force operations from Morrison AAF consisted of reconnaissance antisubmarine flights along the Florida coast. The airfield was officially opened on 19 January 1942, and the facility was assigned to the Third Air Force. The wing's 49th Pursuit Group flew Seversky P-35 and Curtiss P-40 fighters from the field before being reassigned to Drew Field, near Tampa.

Although some hangars had steel frames and the occasional brick or tile brick building could be seen, most support buildings sat on concrete foundations but were of frame construction clad in little more than plywood and tarpaper.ĭuring the transition from airport to military airfield, the Air Corps 8th Pursuit Wing, assigned to the Third Air Force, III Interceptor Command was stationed at Palm Beach Air Base (as the facility was originally named) between 16 May-1 November 1941. Most base buildings, not meant for long-term use, were constructed of temporary or semi-permanent materials. Buildings were ultimately utilitarian and quickly assembled. Several large hangars were also constructed. Construction involved runways and airplane hangars, with three concrete runways, several taxiways and a large parking apron and a control tower. Operating under a lease from Palm Beach County, the airport airport came under formal military control and on 25 November 1940 a construction program began to turn the civil airport into a military airfield. In 1940 the United States Army Air Corps indicated a need for the airfield as part of the buildup of its forces after World War II began in Europe.
