Atlanta Land Plane Field Near Camp Gordon Amid Gov Approvals
The United States director of air service has urged Atlanta to provide a landing field for a two transcontinental air route from Washington to San Diego via the Southern states. Army officers reportedly favor allotting part of Camp Gordon’s parade ground for the air station, with Chamber of Commerce officials seeking a nearby field meeting the needs. If approved, Camp Gordon acreage may be set aside for the landing field, increasing the project’s odds. Charles I Robertson notes the civic body’s secretary. The government’s Monday request elevates prospects for the proposed site.
