-
- During World War II, Dunlap Auxiliary
Field was one of 6 satellite airfields which served Minter
Field (19 miles south-southwest), which conducted basic flight
training. The dates of use of Dunlap
are unknown, but Minter Field itself was operational from 1941
until being closed soon after World War II. Unlike some of the
other Minter auxiliary fields, Dunlap was not depicted on the
1944 LA Sectional Chart, so it may have been abandoned by then.
No airfield at the site was depicted on the 1949 Los Angeles
Sectional Chart.
-
- However, an airfield labeled “Jasmin
Landing Field” was still depicted on the 1991 USGS topo
map at the same location, so this field may have been reused
in the postwar period for civil aviation.The 1994 USGS aerial
photo of the site did not show any recognizable remnants of an
airfield. The airfield site is located northeast of the intersection
of Hart Avenue & Kyte Avenue, one mile east of the town of
Jasmin.
