A brief look in the past... Hollywood International airport opened on May 1, 1929, on an abandoned nine-hole golf course. It was called Merle Fogg Field, in memory of the pioneer Fort Lauderdale aviator*. The thunder of World War II brought big changes to the sleepy little airport. The Navy purchased it, and quickly began improving the airfield and constructing military barracks. The field was designed to train pilots of aircraft-carrier based torpedo attack planes. At the peak of effort, 3,600 Naval personnel were stationed at the facility. After the War, the airport remained dormant for three years, and then it was acquired by Broward County and operated as a general aviation facility. In 1953, Mackey Airlines began passenger service. Since its humble beginnings, the airport has grown into a modern air transportation facility, serving the needs of the air traveling public in Broward, southern Palm Beach and north Dade Counties. |
