During World War II, Chanyi Airfield was used by the USAAF 14^th Air Force as part of the China Defensive Campaign. The airport was primarily a reconnaissance base, with photo mapping and combat aerial photography units flying combat mapping and photo flights over Japanese-held territory from September 1944 until September 1945. In addition, some B-25 Mitchell medium bombers and transport aircraft used the airport, on the receiving side of "Hump" routes. The Americans closed their facilities at the airport in early October 1945.
