  • Mark Bane His 499 Park Field “Aviation Is Fine As a Sport
    Mark Bane His 499 Park Field “Aviation is fine as a sport. But as an instrument of war, it is worthless.”1 General Ferdinand Foch, the professor of strategy at the Ecole Superieure de Guerre, was quoted as having said this to a student during a lecture. General Foch was wildly wrong in his assumption and with the emergence of military aviation, aviation would soon come to Tennessee. Park Field was initially established in May, 1917 in order to facilitate the training of new army aviators for World War One. Park Field would remain open and operation under Army Aviation until November 11, 1918 when World War One would end. From there Park Field would be used to serve as a base for Airmail routes through Tennessee where it was eventually abandoned in January, 1922.2 This would serve as the end of Aviation for Park Field until the Department of the Navy took over the area in February of 1942. Lieutenant Joseph D. Park graduated from West Point in 1905 with a commission in to the United States Army Air Corps where he initially served as an officer for the Twenty-fourth Infantry, but a few months later he was transferred to the fourth cavalry. In July 1911, he was promoted to a First Lieutenant and was transferred to the Fourth Cavalry. On Jan 15, 1913, Lt. Park was sent to the Aviation school at Hammondsport, N.Y. where he qualified for an aviator’s license on February 15th.3 This put LT Park as one of the first 25 rated USAS military aviators 1 Foch, “Air Power.” 2 “National Archives.” 3 “ARMY AIRMAN DIES IN 15-FOOT PLUNGE; Lieut.
