Barron Field in Everman, Texas was one of three airfields used during World War I by the U.S. Army Signal Corps (later U.S. Army Air Service) flight training center at Camp Taliaferro near Fort Worth.

Barron Field saw flight training and daredevil stunting by the likes of Ormer Locklear, and other pioneer barnstorming pilots. Initially used by Canadian cadets, from April 1918 it was used by U.S. pilots. The training facility was closed in 1921.
