Robert H. Hinckley Airport When the city commissioners of Ogden named our airport Robert H. Hinckley Airport they paid tribute to one who has given, what many believe to be, the greatest contribution by any citizen to the cause of aviation in the United States. Long before the nation was aroused to the vital need of airships as a defense measure, our assistant U. S. secretary of commerce was vigorously advocating the enlarging of our air service in the commercial field and in our armed forces. He stood so high in aeronautics that President Roosevelt sent him over to England in May, 1941, to report on the British situation and lend what aid he might to the cause of the air defense of the British isles. He is regarded in Washington as one of the outstanding men of the administration. He was the man who in 1929 inspired the building of our first municipal airport and he has been an all important factor in bringing about the construction of our present airport which is to be most modern. Mr. Hinckley is deserving of all the honors we can bestow on him as a citizen of this community and one who stands high in the affairs of the nation.
