Not in the USA, but it is in country that was allied to the USA, and the airfield was named after the President of that Country - but it isn't named that now.

Used for Anti-submarine patrols and as a training airfield for B29s. At the end of the war the US withdrew and handed the facility over the host government.

I was wrong in one of my previous posts - it was built in 1942 not 1943.
