For 81 years, Ellington Field served the United States Army and Air Force through times of war, cold war, and peace. Over the past 8 decades the airfield has functioned in variety of operational roles: as an active duty base, an Air Force Reserve base, and an Air National Guard base. Overall, Ellington Field's economic, political, and technological impact on the development of south Texas cannot be underestimated. While most military facilities built in 1917 to train pilots for combat in the First World War have long since disappeared, Ellington Field remains active as a private field that serves the military, commercial, and general aviation needs of Houston.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e National Aeronautics and Space Administr\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1499180756\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781499180756\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/18\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 54\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.02h x 8.50w x 0.11d","brand":"National Aeronautics and Space Administr","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45980836757759,"sku":"9781499180756","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_94404314-0e49-4d88-875a-d2efef7a076a.jpg?v=1722416882","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ellington-field-a-short-national-aeronautics-and-space-administr-9781499180756","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
