Alameda Island once boasted two airports: San Francisco Bay Airdrome and Alameda Airport / Benton Field. Maddux used the latter and Pan Am had a flying boat terminal here from 1935 until 1939. The site was then expanded as NAS Alameda and the Bay Airdrome was closed. Photo from: San Diego Air & Space Museum This photo was added on 30 June 2021, and has since been viewed 547 times. |
