| | K-9 History: Showa & Wiesbaden K9 Schools! |
 | | Showa Air Station was the site of a former WW-II Japanese training school used by Zero fighters; and towards the end of the war, Kamikaze pilots were trained there......not that they needed that much training on how to crash a plane! |
 | | On December 5, 1951, FEAF HQ authorized the Far East Air Logistic Force, Japan, to establish "Project Kennel," which called for the construction of 50 kennels, an obstacle course, and other facilities at Showa Air Station located several miles from Tachikawa Air Base near the Japanese village of Showa. |
 | | Showa was the USAF very first Dog School, and it was just plain luck, that it happened to be started during the Korean War. |
