Lake Park Auxiliary Army Airfield 2 (site)

 historical layer / disappeared object  Add category

This airfield was used during WW2 as one of four satellite fields for Moody AAF (a few miles northwest), which was a training base for light bombers, and later acquired an advanced pilot training school.
The date of construction of Lake Park Aux #2 is unknown.
It was most likely not a pre-war airport, but was built by the military during WW2,
as no airfield at Lake Park was listed in The Airport Directory Company's 1937 Airports Directory.
The earliest depiction of the field which has been located was on the above April 14, 1943 USDA aerial photograph.
It depicted the field as having two asphalt runways.

The April 1944 US Army/Navy Directory of Airfields described "Lake Park Army Auxiliary #2" as having a 4,500' unpaved runway" (even though the 1943 aerial photo appeared to depict asphalt runways).
The remarks included, "Auxiliary to Moody Field."
