Barker Field was one of several airfields in the Downsview area of Toronto, Ontario. ==History== Opened in 1927, it was a civilian and privately owned airfield for the early era of flying in Canada and was named after William George Barker, a First World War fighter ace and Victoria Cross recipient. It remained in use until 1953. The area (northwest corner of Lawrence Avenue West and Dufferin Street) has since been re-developed as a commercial site (auto dealership, gas station and other businesses). The airfield used a rudimentary grass or dirt surface for aircraft to take off and land. From 1950 to 1954 it was home to Aero Activities Limited, a flying school operated by Marion Alice Orr.〔http://www.canadian99s.org/articles/p_orr.htm〕 After Orr sold Barker Field, the property eventually ceased to be an airfield and developed into the current land use for commercial, warehouse and light industrial use. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Barker Field」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
