Henry C. Mustin Naval Air Facility
Henry C. Mustin Naval Air Facility (IATA code MUV),〔http://www.theairdb.com/airport/MUV.html〕 also known as Mustin Field, is a former military airfield located at the United States Navy Naval Aircraft Factory on board the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It was in service from 1926 to 1963.
==History==
On 27 July 1917, Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels approved the development of a Naval Aircraft Factory as a Navy-owned aircraft design, production and evaluation facility. The factory opened 17 November 1917.〔http://nakedphilly.com/tag/naval-yard/〕 Production of H-16 and MF flying boats began in 1918. Following the Great War, "the factory's role was altered from production-focused to evaluation of different aircraft designs, with its production being limited to mainly prototype and small production lots of aircraft."〔http://wikimapia.org/7274897/Former-Henry-C-Mustin-Naval-Air-Facility〕 The NAF produced Vought VE-7 airframes when the small Lewis & Vought organization was unable to handle a large production order.〔Jones, Lloyd S., "U. S. Naval Fighters: Navy/Marine Corps 1922 to 1980s", Aero Publishing, Inc., Fallbrook, California, 1977, Library of Congress card number 77-20693, ISBN 0-8168-9254-7, page 11.〕 The factory also constructed nine Curtiss TS-1s, -2s, and -3s in 1922 for cost comparisons and performance evaluations with different powerplants.〔Jones, Lloyd S., "U. S. Naval Fighters: Navy/Marine Corps 1922 to 1980s", Aero Publishing, Inc., Fallbrook, California, 1977, Library of Congress card number 77-20693, ISBN 0-8168-9254-7, page 14.〕
As the Navy introduced progressively more land based aircraft in the 1920s, the need for a landing field at the Naval Aircraft Factory grew, under the control of the Fourth Naval District.〔Chief of Naval Operations, "Naval Aeronautical Organization - Fiscal Year 1929 - 1 July 1928 to 30 June 1929", Op-38-E-EM/A-21-1/A3-1 (280915), Section II. NAVAL DISTRICTS, Office of Naval Operations, Washington, D.C., 15 September 1928, page 7.〕〔http://www.history.navy.mil/a-record/nao23-52/fy-1929.pdf〕 In 1926 the eastern end of the Back Channel of League Island in the Delaware River was landfilled to create space for flight operations, after the training school in Rockaway, New York, was closed.〔http://www.history.navy.mil/avh-vol2/Appen6.pdf〕 League Island ceased to be one with this change, the western end of Back Channel becoming the Reserve Basin for the Navy Yard, holding a portion of the U.S. Navy reserve fleets.
