Very helpful and friendly staff! Thank you.
I lived on Lewis- Siefert rd. (Hubbard). landsdowne at that time was run by the Bird Brothers and was known by their name, Bird airport. It was a short bike ride from my house and I remember a small air show there and some fatal airplane accidents in the area. A J-3 Piper Cub from bird made an emergency landing in our cornfield. It was flown by a student pilot and Mr. bird came to our farm with fuel and he, Mr Bird took off from the field. He had us hold the tail off the ground and hold the plane back as long as we could while he gave it full throttle! Quite an experience for a youngster. I think the time frame was 1943-47 or 48. I remember US Army Air Force pilots renting planes there.
