Air Force Station Kanchrapara[2] is a military airfield located near Kanchrapara, in the North 24 Parganas district in West Bengal, India.[3]
Air Force Station Kanchrapara was established on September 1, 1942.[4] During September–c. 4 October 1945 World War II, the airfield was used as a reconnaissance base by the 8th Reconnaissance Group of The United States Army Air Forces Tenth Air Force. It was home to several P-51 Mustang, B-25 Mitchell and P-38 Lightning airframes during that time. After World War II, this airstrip was closed and left abandoned.
The airfield was re-activated in December 2014, when the Indian Air Force inaugurated its 5th Selection Board at the Air Force Station.[2] An old MIG-21 has been brought here for a showcase, it can be seen from the main gate.
