EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures an airplane at Berry Field, Nashville's Municipal Airport in Tennessee, around 1940. Named after Colonel Harry S. Berry, the State W. P. A. Administrator, this airport was considered one of the most remarkable in the United States during its time. With a construction cost of approximately $2,500,000, it covered about 700 acres and boasted several miles of hard-surfaced runways. Situated on Murfreesboro Road, just six and a half miles from downtown Nashville, Berry Field played a significant role in connecting the city to other parts of the country. Serving as a hub for both military and civilian aviation activities during that era, it symbolized progress and modernity. The photograph showcases an aircraft against the backdrop of this impressive airport infrastructure. It serves as a reminder of how far aviation technology has come since then while also highlighting the historical significance attached to Berry Field. Today known as Nashville International Airport (BNA), this site continues to be an essential transportation hub for travelers visiting Music City or passing through Tennessee's capital city. While commercial use is not mentioned in this caption request explicitly, BNA now handles millions of passengers annually and plays a vital role in supporting tourism and economic growth in Nashville and beyond.
