Souther Field, ca. 1920
Souther Field would have looked identical to this composite aerial photograph when Charles Lindbergh arrived in 1923. Running
horizontally along the top is Souther Road; the structure on the left is the train depot. Lining Souther Road are administrative
buildings and barracks for army personnel. Fourteen hangars and two additional structures border the administrative buildings
and the grassy field where Lindbergh practiced his take-offs and landings. Lindbergh slept in one of these hangars during
his three weeks at the field, and his JN-4 Jenny biplane would have been assembled in one. During World War I Souther Field
was home to 1,400 army personnel.
