Strother Army Airfield
Strother Army Airfield was a World War II training base of the United States Army Air Forces Central Flying Training Command (CFTC), and later II Fighter Command. It is currently the city-owned Strother Field.
==History==
Strother Army Air Field was a joint enterprise of the proximate cities of Winfield and Arkansas City to build a municipal airport which evolved, by the force of events, into construction of an Army airfield dedicated to basic flying training.
At a joint meeting on 6 February 1941 the two city commissions approved construction of an airport comprising some 240 acres with a 100 x 100-foot hangar. Authority to issue bonds had already been granted by the Kansas legislature. During the course of 1941 the Federal government's interest in this site for the establishment of an Army flying school became known. A site selection board of officers met at Arkansas City, 11 April 1942, and inspected the proposed airport site. In its report three days later, the board approved the proposed site. On the same day of the board meeting, 11 April, the two cities passed a resolution committing the municipalities to obtain approximately 1,400 acres of land to be leased to the Federal government at the rate of one dollar per year, and renewable yearly for 25 years.
