History
The airfield was originally built during World War II as an outlying landing field (OLF) to Naval Air Station Memphis and consisted of eight 1600-foot (488 meters) paved runways arranged in a Star of David pattern. Considered surplus at the war's end, the OLF was released to civilian control in 1946. Charles W. Baker Airport opened in 1959 and has also been known as "Shelby County Airport."[3]
