USAF bases cover a large area worldwide. But even those in the US occupy more square miles than several countries combined. Combat grabs its map and calculator. AMERICA'S AIR BASES cover an astonishing 46,875 square miles worldwide. That's nearly 8,000 square miles more than Scotland and Wales combined (30,981sq miles and 8,023 sq miles respectively), and only marginally smaller than the entire area of England (50,301 sq miles). With an annual defence budget of nearly $750 billion, the military might of the US is hardly a surprise - yet the sheer scale of its air base coverage is still impressive.
