Kaifeng Air Base is a People's Liberation Army Air Force Base situated approximately 1 mile southeast of Kaifeng in Henan Province, People’s Republic of China. During World War II, the airfield was known as Laifeng (Kaifeng) Airfield and was utilized by the United States Army Air Forces Fourteenth Air Force as part of the China Defensive Campaign from 1942 to 1945. It served as the home for the Chinese-American Joint Intelligence Agency and functioned as a photo-reconnaissance base. Unarmed P-38 Lightning aircraft, equipped with cameras, conducted flights over Japanese-held areas during the spring and summer of 1945 from this location. American operations from the airfield concluded after the war ended in September 1945. Currently, it remains a military airfield operated by the People's Liberation Army Air Force.
