Bruning Airfield: Bones Under Nebraska Soil

In 1943, Nebraska farmers traded crops for engines, birthing Bruning Army Airfield. A curious mix of farm and war, 3,500 souls trod in, both military and civilian. After the war, the airfield's tranquility was fleeting. All that remains today are a handful of structures, the Sub Depot among the reluctant hangars. Cattle graze on the North-South and SW-NE runways, once echoing with the roar of heavy bombers and fighter planes. But the ghosts of the 28 airmen and 23 others who perished in WWII haunt these abandoned remnants at Bruning Airfield.
