The World War II heritage of Ladd Field, Fairbanks, Alaska
In 1939, at a site along the Chena River, the U.S. Army Air Corps was preparing to construct a new research airfield for cold weather testing. The new airfield was nothing more than a road scraped out of willow and spruce thickets, but it was destined to grow rapidly. It would become known as Ladd Field and would play a part in the worldwide conflict to come.
