Description

The intriguing history of aviation in Charleston, West Virginia, deserves to fly out of anonymity. Wertz Field opened in Institute in 1930, taking into consideration the introduction of the primary commercial passenger service in 1933. In 1942, the development of a rubber plant next to the sector blocked flight approaches, leading to its closure. Recognizing the urgent want for air service to the community, industrious West Virginians literally moved mountains to build Kanawha Airport on flat land created by leveling three mountains north of the state’s capital, Charleston. Opening in November 1947, Kanawha Airport offered the community convenient air service and changed into home to the West Virginia Air National Guard. This book covers the history of aviation within the Charleston area, from the primary airplane flight in 1912 to the present Yeager Airport, which links the region to the sector economy.
