  • Chapman Field–The Evolution of a South Dade Army Airdrome
    58 Chapman Field-The Evolution of a South Dade Army Airdrome Raymond G. McGuire Cobbled together to encompass more than 850 acres of pineland, scrub, marsh, and seashore, the army airfield that came to be named after the first U.S. flier killed in France during World War I saw active service for only two months before the war ended. Thereafter local horticulturists and aviation interests vied for control of the property as development crept around its perimeter. With much of the acreage remaining park- land or agricultural through the end of the twentieth century, Chapman Field has persisted as an identifiable entity in Miami-Dade County with a locally recognized name long after its airstrips have vanished.1 Powered flight had barely passed its first decade when the war in Europe erupted in 1914, but German, French, and English govern- ments quickly saw the strategic advantages to be gained from the air- plane over the battlefield. During the first years of the war the United States had a chance to watch from the sidelines, and it, too, discovered that air power was a potentially great new tactic. The U. S. Army had few pilots, however, and few bases for training more; in Florida, only the Naval Air Station in Pensacola was operational. America entered the war on April 6, 1917, and, in a wave of federal spending, $640 million was appropriated by Congress on July 24 of that year for military aeronautics. Many private schools of aviation were taken over by the military, such as Curtiss Field in Miami, and new airfields were estab- lished throughout the country.

  • Victor's Field – the Story of Chapman Field
    Victor’s Field The Story of Chapman Field Scott F. Kenward, DMD April, 2009 In the southeast corner of the Village of Pinecrest, there is a road that seems to have a mind of its own. Diving diagonally southeastward through the regular grid of avenues and streets, Chapman Field Drive crosses Ludlam Road on a beeline to Biscayne Bay, terminating at Old Cutler Road. Less than a half mile south of that intersection on Old Cutler now stands the entrance to three prominent local landmarks: The Deering Bay Yacht & Country Club, the United States Department of Agriculture’s Subtropical Horticulture Research Station and Dade County's Chapman Field Park. All three properties share a common ancestry, the U.S. Army’s Cutler Aerial Gunnery Field, later renamed, Chapman Field. Cutler Field America had remained neutral for the first three years of World War I, which ignited in Europe in 1914. During that time, the US military began to closely watch the development of air warfare over England, France and Germany and realize the advantages of having aircraft over the battlefield. By the time America entered the war in 1917, Congress was ready to appropriate $640 million for military aeronautics. As powered flight was still in its infancy, there were few American pilots and fewer air bases on which to train them. In Florida, only Pensacola’s Naval Air Station was operational at the time. New airfields were built throughout the country, including seaplane bases at Key West and at Dinner Key in Coconut Grove. So, in 1917, 850 acres of pineland, scrub, marsh and seashore were purchased from Walter H.

Building prep took the better part of the disappointment but the B-25 Mitchell did make it in, along with week for power washing the exterior, sanding bad spots, and four other planes (IFR). The ceilings did finally raise enough applying primer. Once that was all completed, Saturday was for the B-25 to do one paid flight in the afternoon.

The fascination with flight continued into the First World War, as the pilots who took to the skies were quickly transformed into heroic and legendary figures. The newfound allure of combat aviation contrasted with the public's disdain and apathy toward the brutality of trench warfare. However, the popular desire to crown aviators as a new knighthood led to the growth of legends, often at the expense of truth and historical accuracy.

    Advocates for Harvard ROTC . Telephone: (978) 443-9532 11 Munnings Drive Email: [email protected] Sudbury, MA 01776 11 November 2017 From: Captain Paul E. Mawn USN (Ret.) To: Advocates for Harvard ROTC Subject: Crimson Aviators The US Air Force as well as Naval & Army Aviation owe a generally unrecognized debt of gratitude to the alumni of Ivy League colleges, particularly Harvard, for their key role in the initial development of US fighter pilots. A graduate of both Harvard College and Harvard Law School, Sous LT Norman Prince Armée de l'Air, was an Ace and co-founder of the famed Lafayette Escadrille. The first Navy Ace and only Navy Ace during World War I was an alumnus of Harvard Law School (i.e. Rear Admiral David S. Ingalls USN with 5 kills in WW1). Furthermore, the first aviator in the US Marine Corps to be ever awarded for valor graduated from Harvard College (i.e. 1st LT Ken Culbert USMC, a recipient of the Silver Star and Croix de Guerre, who was killed in action). Harvard College is the oldest US University that was founded in 1636 by the General Court of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. From the American Revolution until the present day, many Harvard veterans have paid a price in time, blood and restricted earnings for the freedoms now enjoyed in our great country.18 Harvard alumni have been awarded the Medal of Honor (including 1 aviator), which is highest number of alumni recipients for any university in the world except for West Point & the Naval Academy.

  • Doctorate of Philosophy
    Eyes All Over the Sky: The Significance of Aerial Reconnaissance in the First World War by James Streckfuss December 6, 2011 M.A., University of Cincinnati, 2002 J.D., Woodrow Wilson College of Law, 1981 B.A., University of Cincinnati, 1973 A dissertation submitted to the Division of Research and Advanced Studies of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the degree requirements for the degree of DOCTORATE OF PHILOSOPHY In the Department of History of the College of Arts and Sciences Committee Chair: Christopher Phillips 2 Abstract Historians have portrayed aviation in the First World War as a romantic alternative to the mass slaughter playing out on the ground and at sea. Young men volunteered for service in the air to escape the horrors of the trenches and their exploits made them into heroes a war-weary public could revere. As valuable as this diversion proved to civilian morale, it contributed little, if anything, to the military victory. Another global conflict broke out before aviation’s destructive power matured into a potential war winning force. This characterization has allowed historians to discuss World War I without any meaningful analysis of what role aviation played in the fighting. Connections between the air war and ground and naval operations are missing from most contemporary accounts of the war. This dissertation argues that airmen contributed greatly, shaping the manner in which armies and navies functioned in ways that influenced the outcome of battles and the length of the war. Reconnaissance, observation and photography made up the branch of World War I military and naval aeronautics that most significantly impacted the fighting.
