Disambiguation: Entity appears in US Department of War UFO/UAP archive corpus. External sources do not contain documentation of a distinct organizational unit explicitly named 'Maxwell Flight Service Center,' though Maxwell Air Force Base itself is well-documented as a major US military installation.

Maxwell Flight Service Center likely refers to a component or operational facility within Maxwell Air Force Base, a major United States Air Force installation located in Montgomery, Alabama. Maxwell AFB was established in 1918 as Engine and Repair Depot No. 3, renamed Maxwell Field in 1922 (honoring Lt. William C. Maxwell, an Escambia County native killed in an aircraft accident in the Philippines), and redesignated Maxwell Air Force Base in September 1947. The base serves as headquarters of Air University, the U.S. Air Force's center for Joint Professional Military Education, and historically housed the archive of Project Blue Book (1952–1969), the USAF's systematic investigation of UFO/UAP incidents. A Flight Service Center designation likely indicates a specific operational or administrative component handling flight operations, coordination, or aerospace defense functions, though this particular designation is not documented in publicly available sources examined.
