FRESNO YOSEMITE AIRPORT ASSISTANCE

History Fresno Yosemite Airport

Military beginnings: The Fresno Yosemite international airport opened as a military airfield in June 1942, just six months after Japan’s attack on pearl harbor, leading the united states to enter world war ii. The new airfield was named hammer field and was used by the united states army air forces as a training facility for the new pilots of the fourth air force. It had a single northwest/southeast oriented runway with a length of 7,200 feet (now runway 11l/29r). Night fighter training, using Northrop p-61s, was moved to hammer field in January 1944, initially with the 481st night fighter operational training group, replaced by the 319th wing in May 1944.

Training for the bell p-59 air comet was added to the 319th mission in 1944, as well, confirmed col. Ralph h. Suavely, commanding officer of the 319th wing at the time, civil and commercial aviation used chandler field that had opened in November 1929. chandler is 1.5 miles (2.4 km) west of downtown Fresno, on a small site. Less than a decade after it opened, it was clear that the small runway at chandler would not be able to accommodate coming larger airliners.
