Description

The intriguing history of aviation in Charleston, West Virginia, deserves to fly out of anonymity.

Wertz Field opened in Institute in 1930, allowing for the introduction of the first commercial passenger service in 1933.

In 1942, the construction of a rubber plant next to the field blocked flight approaches, resulting in its closure.

Recognizing the urgent need 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 became home to the West Virginia Air National Guard.

This book covers the history of aviation in the Charleston area, from the first airplane flight in 1912 to the current Yeager Airport, which links the region to the world economy.
