Robinson Field Name Suggested for Shafter Air Base
Members of Leslie L. Robinson Post No. 213 American Legion proposed naming the planned east Shafter airfield Robinson Field to honor lieutenant Leslie L. Robinson who was killed in World War I. A letter to Congressman Alfred J. Elliott will seek army consideration, with a second choice if Shafter is rejected. The only obstacle is a Hawaiian fort already named for General William Rufus Shafter.
