Exterior veiw showing boarding gates, 1937. - Cleveland Municipal Airport, Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, OH
Title
Exterior veiw showing boarding gates, 1937. - Cleveland Municipal Airport, Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, OH
Description
English: View of the main building, boarding gate area, and airport apron of Cleveland Municipal Airport in 1936 (see written note on photo frame). Several airliners are visible. The three closest ones are Boeing 247s, probably all of United Air Lines (the leftmost one, registered NC13355, is definitely with United). The 247 in the right rear, with its nose baggage compartment open, is an original model with Townend ring engine cowlings; the other two are the improved 247D version, with NACA engine cowlings and rubber pneumatic deicing boots on the leading edges of the wings and tail. In the further distance can be seen two airliners of American Airlines: a Stinson Model A trimotor behind the leftmost Boeing, and a Curtiss T-32 Condor II biplane partly visible behind the building roof.

Notes
  • Significance: First municipally constructed and owned airport in the country. Served as a model for American airport design, and pioneered air traffic control through use of a radio-equipped control tower in 1930. It was the site of the famous Cleveland National Air Races from 1929, 1931-39 and 1946-49, and also the location of a major B-29 bomber plant during World War II. The present airport exists on the same land appropriated through a municipal bond issue in 1924, with some additional land acquired since that time. All original structures have been demolished, although some of the early control tower structure and equipment are at the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C.
