Millville Army Air Field: America's First Defense Airport (Images of Aviation)

Millville had always been known for its glassmaking, but with the outbreak of World War II, the communityâ€™s identity was primed to change forever. A private civilian airfield gave way to the creation of Americaâ€™s first defense airport, the training ground for the U.S. Armyâ€™s Curtiss P-40 Warhawk and Republic P-47 Thunderbolt pilots. Bright and brave young men from across the country converged on Millville in the early 1940s to learn to fly and fight for freedom. Some died in training; others flew into history as heroes. While in Millville, they lived the average lives of the countryâ€™s military men, playing baseball, flirting with the girls at the local USO dances, and attending Sunday night dinners with local families, creating lifelong friendships in a time when a young manâ€™s life expectancy was in the hands of Americaâ€™s enemies.
