History Needn't Be Ancient
BY CHARLES YARsRoUeH

Yesterdays announcement
that historic Mitchell Field, L. l.,
will go out of existence as
an operating base calls to mind
one of Elwood r. Quesada's best
examples of how aviation has
progressed.
The Administrator of Federal
Aviation recently pointed, out
that as a young officer he was
on a board which recommended
placing of Boiling Field on its
present site.
He was only 81 (two years
ago. when he recommended
that Boiling be abolished,
largely because of congested
air traff1c.
AS an air facility, Mitchell is
more than two decades older
than Boiling. but the Long Is
land field has a military history
going back to the Revolutionary
War.
Gerald ]. Schlaeger, writing
in the current and timely issue
OF Flying Magazine, tells
Mitchel's history-a saga of
British and Hessian mercenaries
drilling on what was then called
the Hampstead Plains; of troops

War when it was known as

1t was named Mitchell Field
in honor of Maj. John Purroy
Mitchell. former mayor of New
York who, at SO was trying out
for air service. While putting
a Spad through its PAGES in
July Of 1917, he tumbled from
the plane and was killed. Mr..
Schlager said Major Mitchell
had complained of the safety
belt restricting his movements
in the cockpit and had taken
to flying with it unfastened."
