Lambert–St. Louis International Airport

Lambert–St. Louis International Airport is an international airport serving Greater St. Louis, Missouri, United States. It is about northwest of downtown St. Louis in unincorporated St. Louis County between Berkeley and Bridgeton. Commonly named Lambert Field, it is the largest and busiest airport in the state with 255 daily departures to about 90 domestic and international locations. In 2014, 12.4 million passengers traveled through the airport.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Passenger Statistics )〕 The airport serves as a hub for Air Choice One and Cape Air, focus city for Southwest Airlines and was a former hub for Trans World Airlines and later for American Airlines and AmericanConnection.
Named for Albert Bond Lambert, an Olympic medalist and prominent St. Louis aviator, the airport rose to international prominence in the 20th century, thanks to its association with Charles Lindbergh, its groundbreaking air traffic control, its status as the hub of Trans World Airlines and its iconic terminal. Designed by Minoru Yamasaki, the building inspired terminals at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City and Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris, France.
== History ==

The airport grew from a balloon launching base, Kinloch Field, part of the 1890s Kinloch Park suburban development. The Wright brothers and their Exhibition Team visited the field while touring with their aircraft. During a visit to St. Louis, Theodore Roosevelt flew with pilot Arch Hoxsey on October 11, 1910, becoming the first U.S. president to fly. Later, Kinloch hosted the first experimental parachute jump.
In June 1920, the Aero Club of St. Louis leased 170 acres of cornfield, the defunct Kinloch Racing Track and the Kinloch Airfield in October 1923, during The International Air Races. The field was officially dedicated as ''Lambert–St. Louis Flying Field''〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Lambert-Saint Louis International Airport )〕 in honor of Albert Bond Lambert, an Olympic silver medalist golfer in the 1904 Summer Games, president of Lambert Pharmaceutical Corporation (which made Listerine), and the first person to receive a pilot's license in St. Louis. In February 1925, "Major" (his 'rank' was given by the Aero Club and not the military) Lambert bought the field and added hangars and a passenger terminal. Charles Lindbergh's first piloting job was flying airmail for Robertson Aircraft Corporation from Lambert Field; he left the airport for New York about a week before his record-breaking flight to Paris in 1927. Later that year, Lambert sold the airport to the City of St. Louis, making it the first municipally-owned airport in the United States.
In the late 1920s, Lambert Field became the first airport with an air traffic control system—albeit one that communicated with pilots via waving flags. The first controller was Archie League.
Robertson Airlines, Marquette Airlines and Eastern Air Lines provided passenger service to St. Louis.
In 1925, the airport became home to Naval Air Station St. Louis, a Naval Air Reserve facility that became an active-duty installation during World War II.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Navy at Lambert Field, 1925–1958 by George Everding, LCDR USN (ret) )
During the war, the airport became a manufacturing base for McDonnell Aircraft and Curtiss-Wright.
