Abstract:

Raleigh-Durham businessmen decided a larger airport was necessary and founded the Raleigh-Durham Airport Authority. In 1942, with the impending war, the Government took control of the airport's construction dissolving the Raleigh-Durham Airport Authority and routing service aircraft flying over to other stops. In 1943, 40 officers were stationed there headed by Captain James P. Schick.
