What if I told you that there’s an abandoned World War II-era airforce base that sits, frozen in time, on an untamed island off the coast of Texas? Or that the crumbling runways of the airfield that once housed the first bomber to drop an atomic bomb lie forgotten in the sands of the Texas desert? I didn’t believe it either when I heard about it -at first. But then I decided to go check out these places, and I was blown away. Today, we will be exploring the top 5 abandoned military bases in Texas.
