EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of Minneapolis-Saint Paul Metropolitan Airport, also known as Chamberlain Field, in the heart of the Twin Cities, Minnesota, USA, in the late 1930s. The image, dated 1939, showcases the charm and elegance of air travel during this era. The photograph presents a panoramic view of the airport, with several propeller planes parked neatly on the tarmac, ready for their next journey. Passengers in stylish attire can be seen milling about, some waving goodbye to loved ones, while others eagerly approach the aircraft. The airport building, with its distinctive Art Deco architecture, stands proudly in the background. Minneapolis-Saint Paul Metropolitan Airport was the primary airport serving the Twin Cities area from the 1920s until the 1940s. It was named after Generalissimo Francisco R.S.M. de O. Yrigoyen Fernández, the Argentine President who visited Minneapolis in 1930. The airport was later renamed Chamberlain Field in 1941, in honor of General Joseph "Bus" Robinson, the first commanding general of the Minnesota National Guard. This photograph is an enchanting reminder of a bygone era, when air travel was a novelty and adventure awaited at every turn. It makes for a wonderful addition to any collection of American or aviation history, and is a beautiful souvenir for those with connections to the Twin Cities or the 1930s.
