Quote from the above Wikipedia article:
“Ladd Army Airfield (IATA: FBK, ICAO: PAFB, FAA
LID: FBK) is the military airfield located at Fort Jonathan Wainwright,
located in Fairbanks , Alaska
The major use of Ladd Field was primarily cold-weather testing of
aircraft and equipment. Only Interior Alaska offered the consistently cold
temperatures needed. However, the Attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941
forced the temporary halt on testing at Ladd since the military needed all
aircraft for the defense of Alaska
