Rich Field
Rich Field is a former World War I military airfield, located in Waco, Texas, near what is now the intersection of Bosque Boulevard and 41st Street. It operated as a training field for the Air Service, United States Army from 1917 until 1919. The airfield was one of thirty-two Air Service training camps established in 1917 after the United States entry into World War I.〔William R. Evinger: ''Directory of Military Bases in the U.S.'', Oryx Press, Phoenix, Ariz., 1991, p. 147.〕 ==History== The base was named Rich Field in honor of 2nd Lt. C. Perry Rich of the Philippine Scouts. He was born in Indiana, and had been instructed to fly by Lt. Frank P. Lahm in May 1913, then crashed his Wright Model C into Manila Bay on November 14, the tenth U.S. pilot to die in a flying accident.〔( The "Rich Field Flyer", 28 November 1918, "A Short History of Rich Field", via Texas Military Collection, Baylor University )〕 Rich's body was recovered and was buried at Arlington National Cemetery, near other early aviators.〔( New York Times obituary of C Perry Rich )〕
