Site of WWII training airfield, axillary to Moody AAFB.
Like so many of the other auxiliary fields in rural areas,
once the war ended, these fields had no value as airports & were abandoned.
By the time the photo was taken in 1947, it looks as though the field had been abandoned.
In the photo, there are roads crossing the airfield,
and the condition of the field suggests it has not been maintained.
