McCalla Field


McCalla Field was a U.S. military airfield located at Naval Station Guantanamo Bay in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. The airfield was named for Bowman H. McCalla, who was a United States Navy admiral in charge of the Battle of Guantánamo Bay. The current field was expanded in 1941 when the original grass runway was replaced. Aviation facilities in the area first appeared in 1913 with a naval aviation camp.

The USN aviation assets are now located across the bay at Leeward Point Field.
