RAF Middle Wallop, USAAF Station 449 RAF Middle Wallop opened in May 1940 and was used by No.15 SFTS before construction was complete. During the Battle of Britain, the airfield was attacked several times with many casualties inflicted and a hangar and aircraft being destroyed. The runways were grass with a concrete perimeter track and in 1942 two Sommerfield track steel mats were installed. In November 1943 Middle Wallop became the HQ of USAAF IX Fighter Command when the site became USAAF Station 449. Middle Wallop returned to Royal Air Force use in July 1944.
