AAF Navigator School patch, 1943 |
Monroe Regional Airport (IATA: MLU, ICAO: KMLU, FAA LID: MLU) is a public use airport in Ouachita Parish, Louisiana, United States. The airport is owned by the City of Monroe and is located three nautical miles (6 km) east of its central business district.
The airport is advertised as the birthplace of Delta Air Lines; the airport's logo is a variant on the Delta logo. History
During World War II, the United States Army Air Force Flying Training Command used the airport as a cadet training center beginning in August 1942.
The airport was named Selman Army Airfield, named after a Navy Pilot, Lieutenant Augustus J. Selman, U.S.N., a native of Monroe, LA, died at Norfolk, VA, on November 28, 1921, of injuries received in an airplane crash in the line of duty
The Army Air Force Pre-Flight School (Bomber-Navigation) transferred to Selman AAF from Maxwell Field, Alabama. The remaining elements of the Advanced Navigation School arrived from Turner Field, Georgia on September 14. Selman Field was the largest navigation school in the United States in its time and the nation's only complete navigation course—from start to finish—during World War II. Of the hundreds of fields that were operated by the Army Air Forces, it was only at Selman that a cadet could get his entire training—pre-flight and advanced—and wind up with a commission and navigators wings without ever leaving the field. Over 15,000 navigators were trained at Selman Field, who flew in every theater of operations during the war.
The vast majority of aircraft flown at Selman AAF were Beech C-45s, also known as the AT-7. BT-13s were flown for basic flying training, and TC-47 and TC-46s were used beginning in late 1944.
It closed on until 1 September 1945. After that Selman AAF was used as a separation center for returning overseas personnel until being inactivated on 31 May 1946. The airport was returned to civil control on 31 July 1946
