History

Hancock Field was founded in 1927 by Captain Allan Hancock and became the community's airport the following year. The Hancock Foundation College of Aeronautics was established in 1928. Ten-week classes were offered prospective pilot candidates, with successful individuals becoming licensed pilots. The first students graduated in 1929.

During World War II the United States Army Air Forces contracted with the Hancock Foundation College of Aeronautics to provide basic flight (level 1) instruction to aviation cadets beginning on 14 September 1940. Known sub-bases and auxiliaries:

Fairchild PT-19s were the primary trainer used. Performed contract training until 27 June 1944 with the drawdown of AAFTC's pilot training program.

Private flight training continued until the late 1950s when the airfield was closed.
