WW2 USAAF 2nd Army Air Force Staff Sergeant Uniform Coat Strother Army Air Field Kansas Named to A. Clark - nice complete uniform with three ribbons: Good Conduct, American Campaign, and World War Two Victory - Collar Insignia Indicate Clark was assigned to the Medical Corps. Overall Fine Condition - Rare Issue at Strother Field Oct 1944 as Stamped - a nice addition to any period uniform collection. An airport, jointly owned by Arkansas City and Winfield, was under construction in April 1942 when the United States Army Air Forces indicated a need for a training airfield by the Army Air Forces Flying Training Command, Gulf Coast Training Center. Strother Army Airfield was rushed to completion with the first class of cadets scheduled to arrive for basic training in Vultee BT-13 Valiant aircraft on December 14, 1942. Military use of Strother Field ended in October 1945 and it was turned over for civil use. Today, the site is Strother Field and Industrial Park.

Remaining wartime structures include the runways, two hangars, two link training buildings, a tetrahedron wind cone, two ruins sites and a building of unknown original use. The airport is named for Donald Root Strother, the first Army Air Corps pilot from Cowley County, Kansas to lose his life in World War II. His older brother Dean C. Strother became a four-star general in the United States Air Force.
Winfield had scheduled Central Airlines flights in 1950-53. Check back often - we search estates and sources across the world to bring a fine selection of militaria.
