LIBYA: Wheelus Air Base, AL token (1.12g), ND, "N.C.O. / Club / Wheelus / Air Base / Libya" / "Value / 05 ¢", circa 1950s, Very Fine, R. Wheelus Air Base was originally the Italian base known as Mehalla, occupied by the American military in April 1945 and renamed Wheelus Air Base in May 1945. In September 1969, Idris II, king of Lybia, was overthrown by Muammar al-Gaddafi. Three months later, the Americans agreed that Wheelus Air Base would be vacated, which was completed in June 1970. The term N.C.O. means "non-commissioned officers".
