Location

Harvard Aviation Field

The site of both the 1910 and 1911 Aero Meets was the Harvard Avation Field, located in Quincy, Massachusetts. It was leased from the NY & New Haven Railroad by the Harvard Aeronautical Society.

After the original lease expired in 1915, the land was rented out to individual researchers and pilots, and in 1917 became the site of Squantum Naval Air Station. The airfield continued to operate as a very active airbase right through the end of WWII, and was not finally closed until 1945.
