1905th EAB

The 1905th Engineer Aviation Battalion (EAB) was a United States Army Air Forces unit activated during World War II. Formed in 1943, the battalion specialized in the rapid construction, repair, and maintenance of airfields in the Pacific Theater, playing a critical role in supporting air operations during island-hopping campaigns. The unit participated in several key operations, including the construction of vital runways and support facilities under challenging combat and environmental conditions. Following the end of hostilities, the 1905th EAB was inactivated as part of the broader post-war drawdown of military forces.
