1948 Sherman Fairchild - Fla Memory Project

1948 - Amelia Earhart Field (former Miami Municipal Airport) and Master (AKA Masters and Master's) Field

Northwest Dade County, Florida


Thanks to George W. Young for sending this image by Sherman Fairchild and part of the Florida Memory Project. The view is looking east-north-east with LeJeune Road in the foreground on the west border of Amelia Earhart Field, the Little River Canal on the right (southern) border), and NW 27 Avenue on the eastern border of Master Field. NW 119 Street is visible at the top intersecting 27th Avenue at the east side of Master Field. The taxiway over the Seaboard Air Line Railroad tracks connecting the two airports is still visible but was eliminated later. More views and details of these airports are located at http://www.pbase.com/airlinerphotos/airports_oldmiami

Master (AKA Masters and Master's) Field in the background was part of U. S. Naval Air Station Miami at the time this photo was taken.
