(Maps 20 to 24 are separate maps not bound with text) PART I AN AIRPORT PROGRAM FOR THE LOYELL--LAWRENCE- HAVERHILL AREA IN MASSACHUSETTS 1. CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION k. AIRPORT PLANNING - A REGIONAL PROBLEM Until recent years airport development has not been guided by any systmematic planning. The only guide has been the general desire to advance aerial ttansporta#ion. Although many splendid airports have been provided for communities simply because they are needed, or simply be- cause the communities can well afford them without any far- sighted and comprehansive planning, there is grave danger that initial development may later be found to be improperly located, incapable of expansion, conflicting in purpose, and in the end, perhaps very costly mistakes. For example, the mixed operations for scheduled and non-scheduled commerical air services, military (coast guards), and personal flying at the Logan International Airports, Boston, is considered to be most hazardous and unsatisfactory. The situation is even more unfortunate when no sities are available for personal flying within the 10 miles radits from Boston. This aggravating condition could have been eliminated or made less serious if there was a com- prehensive plan for the Airport development in the Boston area. There are several reasons for an airport development plan to be considered on a comprehensive regional basis. Municipal boundaires including town, city, and even county do not usually delineate separate areas for planning 2. purposes.: The need for public facilities, and most efficient way to provide them, often overlap these political boundaries, and make joint solutions to their mutual problems highly advisable. This is especially true in airpbrt planning. It is felt that in the interest oftsmaller cities, towns and communities, which cannot finance or support air- ports of their own, although there are definite needs in aviation, it becomes necessary that an airport program be intelligeintly worked out as a regional program. Further- more, flying to-day consists of many types. When not one but all types of flying are taken into considebation, the fact there is a joint interest and responsibility is even more obvious. What is needed then is not a solution for a special and local problem, but a co-ordinated solution for the region. This regional concept has been recognized in the planning of water supply, sewerage, transportation and other public utilities. Great progress has been made both in preparing and in effecturating such comprehensive regional plans. Because of the rapidly growing needs of aviation,

  • Research Studies Series a History of the Civil Reserve
    RESEARCH STUDIES SERIES A HISTORY OF THE CIVIL RESERVE AIR FLEET By Theodore Joseph Crackel Air Force History & Museums Program Washington, D.C., 1998 ii PREFACE This is the second in a series of research studies—historical works that were not published for various reasons. Yet, the material contained therein was deemed to be of enduring value to Air Force members and scholars. These works were minimally edited and printed in a limited edition to reach a small audience that may find them useful. We invite readers to provide feedback to the Air Force History and Museums Program. Dr. Theodore Joseph Crackel, completed this history in 1993, under contract to the Military Airlift Command History Office. Contract management was under the purview of the Center for Air Force History (now the Air Force History Support Office). MAC historian Dr. John Leland researched and wrote Chapter IX, "CRAF in Operation Desert Shield." Rooted in the late 1930s, the CRAF story revolved about two points: the military requirements and the economics of civil air transportation. Subsequently, the CRAF concept crept along for more than fifty years with little to show for the effort, except for a series of agreements and planning documents. The tortured route of defining and redefining of the concept forms the nucleus of the this history. Unremarkable as it appears, the process of coordination with other governmental agencies, the Congress, aviation organizations, and individual airlines was both necessary and unavoidable; there are lessons to be learned from this experience. Although this story appears terribly short on action, it is worth studying to understand how, when, and why the concept failed and finally succeeded.
