Santa Ana Army Air Base (SAAAB) was an air base built during World War II that was decommissioned in 1946. [http://www.militarymuseum.org/SantaAnaAAB.html Historic California Posts: Santa Ana Army Air Base] ] The air base was used for basic training but didn't have planes, hangars or runways. The base was convert|1336|acre|km2 and located in Costa Mesa between Baker Street on the north, Harbor Blvd. on the west, Wilson Street on the south, Newport Blvd. on the east.
