Airports

In many of the airports we visited there is an aircraft display. Recently I started to capture those that I am able.     

Lambert - St. Louis 


In Terminal 2 (East Terminal) hangs a Monocpup aircraft. 

From Wikipedia:
Monocoupe Aircraft was a manufacturer of light airplanes originally produced in the late 1920s and 30s.[2] They introduced relatively inexpensive, compact, and sporty aircraft in an era of large, maintenance intensive, open-cockpit biplanes, and the Monocoupe series was one of the first economical, closed-cabin, two-seat, light aircraft in the United States. As a result, the Monocoupe soon became a successful brand

Why does it hang in the St. Louis airport?
The history of the airfield
St. Louis Lambert International Airport is one of the most historic airports in the United States.  It is named for Albert Bond Lambert (1875 -1946). He learned to fly with the Wright Brothers, received his pilot’s license in 1911, and served in the U.S. Army in World War I, reaching the rank of Major.  Throughout his life he worked tirelessly to make St. Louis a leader in aviation. 
In 1920, Major Lambert and the Missouri Aeronautical Society leased 170 acres of farmland in St. Louis County to serve as an airfield for St. Louis. Major Lambert paid the rent and had the site cleared, graded and drained, and a hangar built at his own expense. He then offered free use of the field to anyone wishing to use it.  World War I veterans William and Frank Robertson accepted this offer, and began operation at what became known as St. Louis Flying Field.  In 1923, the Missouri National Guard formed the 110th Observation Squadron at the field, commanded by William Robertson.
Major Lambert was responsible for bringing the 1923 International Air Races to St. Louis, and the airfield was christened “Lambert St. Louis Flying Field” in recognition of his achievements.  Twenty-one year old pilot Charles Lindbergh flew to St. Louis to attend the Air Races, and decided to remain at Lambert as an instructor.  
When the lease expired in 1925, Major Lambert bought the airfield property.  In that year the Post Office awarded Robertson the contract for airmail service between Chicago and St. Louis, and they hired Charles Lindbergh as the chief pilot.   This mail route is the earliest predecessor of American Airlines. While flying the mail Lindbergh decided to seek the Orteig Prize for the first non-stop flight between New York and Paris. Major Lambert and other air-minded St. Louisans agreed to support him, and his May, 1927 flight aroused worldwide interest in aviation.

Lambert was an owner of the Lambert Engine and Machine Company that built the airplanes. 

The aircraft that hangs in Terminal 2 is from the 
Missouri History Museum. This aircraft, a red Monocoupe 110 Special manufactured in St. Louis in 1931, 

Midway - Chicago

On June 23rd, 1949, the City Council of Chicago changed the name of its “Municipal Airport” To Midway Airport “in honor of the heroes of the battle of Midway, … the men who turned the tide of the battle in the Pacific.” Ald. Therone W. Merryman (45th) a member of the Aero Commission “eloquently outlined the reasons for wishing to rename the airport;” …at the battle of Midway the air forces sank the Japanese carriers and “routed the Japanese fleet.” Orchard Field had just previously been renamed for Butch O’Hare who single handedly saved the Yorktown, which subsequently carried the Dauntlesses to victory at Midway.

Midway airport now displays an exhibit known as "Battle of Midway Memorial." As a centerpiece, one of the Dive Bombers, which played a key role in the Midway victory, is displayed at Concurse A.
​
The Douglas SBD-4 Dauntless plays an important part in the display commerorating the famouse battle for which the airport is named.
