Clark Air Base - History
Clark Air Base was originally established as Fort Stotsenberg in 1903 and was under control of the U.S. Army. A flying school was created in 1912, with the runway designated Clark Field in 1919.
The base was overrun by Japanese forces during World War II in early 1942, but was recaptured by Americans in January 1945 after three months of fierce fighting.
On March 14, 1947, the U.S. and the Philippines signed the Military Bases Agreement which provided for use of Clark Air Base until the year 2046 (later amended by the 1966 Rusk-Ramos agreement to 1991). In 1949, the base was transferred from the Army to the U.S. Air Force, and was known as Clark Air Base (or Clark AB).
Clark Air Base was completely evacuated beginning June 10, 1991, as Mount Pinatubo erupted.
The Philippine Senate rejected an extension of the Military Bases Agreement that September, and the base was transferred to the Philippine government on November 26, 1991.
