On 16 October 1943 RAF Ibsley was allocated to the Ninth Air Force. 48th Fighter GroupWith construction completed, on 29 March 1944 the Ninth Air Force 48th Fighter Group arrived at Ibsley from Waterboro AAF, South Carolina ({{Coord|32.921817|-80.633297|type:airport|name=Waterboro AAF}}). The 48th flew the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt and had the following fighter squadrons and fuselage codes:

Current useToday the airfield consists mostly of a series of gravel pits and large landscaped lakes. One lake is overlooked by the derelict, windowless control tower. A very small section of the end of runway 01 still exists south of Ellingham Drive at the southern part of the airfield. A small memorial is located near the control tower {{Coord|50|52|45|N|001|46|34.00|W}}. See also{{Portal|United States Air Force|Military of the United States|Royal Air Force|World War II}}
