The Wiesbaden/Mainz Community is located in the German State of Hessen and Rheinland Pfalz, in the central portion of Germany. When the Air Force was established as a separate branch of service in 1947, Wiesbaden was selected as the site of the Air Force Headquarters in Europe, serving in that role until 1975. Consequently, Wiesbaden served as the hub for all activities supporting the Berlin Airlift, with around-the-clock flights from Wiesbaden Air Base. Today, the Wiesbaden Air Base is offically named the Wiesbaden Army Air Field.
