History
The airport was built by the United States Army Air Force and opened in April 1942 as a contract basic flying training airfield. Known as Cleveland Army Airfield, it was operated by the 3224th Air Base Unit, Contract Elementary Flying School (AAFFTC), Cleveland School of Aviation. Students were trained on Fairchild PT-23 and Boeing-Stearman PT-17 trainers. It operated until October 14, 1944 when the last class graduated. The equipment and aircraft at the base were declared excess and sold in November. The airfield was then turned over to civil authorities as an airport. [5][6][7]
