Roswell Veterans with Mesothelioma

Walker Air Force Base was located in Roswell, New Mexico. It was opened in 1941 as an Army Air Corps Flying School. It was an active base during World War II. It later became the largest base of the Strategic Air Command during the Cold War. It also operated as the Roswell Army Air Field. The based was closed in 1967 because of funding cutbacks related to the Vietnam War.

Because the base was active during a period when asbestos was commonly used, it is possible that former workers for the Air Force Base could have been exposed to asbestos. This material was once coveted for its resistance to heat and fire, so it was commonly used in planes and other military vehicles. It was also used as an insulating material in military buildings and construction.
