ww2dbaseKagi Airfield in southern Taiwan was developed as a military airfield, mainly for fighters, by the Japanese prior to the start of WW2. It was attacked by American bombers and fighter-bombers during the war between early-1944 and mid-1945. After the war, the pronunciation of the Japanese name "Kagi" was changed to the Chinese "Chiayi" (Pinyin: Jiayi) and was taken over by the Republic of China Air Force. It also hosted US units during the Cold War, such as the US 67th Fighter-Bomber Squadron in 1955. Between 1976 and 1977, an expansion was embarked upon to allow civilian flights at this facility, which began on 1 Jan 1978; the military-civilian dual use continued for this facility through the time of this writing.
