Fort Wayne Indiana Veterans with Mesothelioma

While a U.S. Army Reserve and Indiana National Guard base are located in Fort Wayne, the most prominent military installation in Fort Wayne is the Fort Wayne Air National Guard Station, which is operated by the United States Air Force. It was initially established in 1941 during World War II as a training airfield for the Army Air Forces prior to when the Air Force was officially established. It organized and trained bomber fighters and other units for assignments in other countries. It has a rich history of being a pivotal component for air support, including serving as a major training and aircraft processing base. It later served as an assembly station for the redeployment of military members from Europe to the Pacific Theater. It is the home station of the Indiana Air National Guard 122d Fighter Wing. A large portion of the base was turned over for civilian use.

Asbestos use was common in all military branches, including the Air Force, where it was used in gaskets, valves and other components. Military members could have been exposed to asbestos during their time of service.
