== History ==
The Works Progress Administration constructed the Greenville Airport in 1940 on land that was jointly owned by the city of Greenville and Pitt County. A Civil Pilot training Program operated from the airport until it was leased by the United States Navy on May 1, 1942 to be an outlying field of Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point. The field was under utilized until November 30, 1942, when it was announced that it would be upgraded by the Civil Aeronautics Administration.〔Shettle(2001):40〕
The first Marine Corps flying squadrons to arrive were scout bombing squadrons VMSB-343 and VMSB-344 in January 1944. July saw the arrival of fighter squadrons VMF-913 and VMF-914 and October brought the photo reconnaissance squadrons VMD-354 and VMD-954. During the war, Outlying Field Greenville was the busiest of MCAS Cherry Point's outlying fields.〔Shettle(2001):40–41〕
