Copy of customer print. Paine Field aerials. Paine Field (Snohomish County Airport) was built originally as a Works Progress project in 1936. The Army Air Corps, brought in to protect the Bremerton shipyards and the Boeing plant, manned the airport from 1941-46. The property was transferred back to Snohomish County in 1948. The advent of the Korean War brought the military back to Paine Field and the Air Force would remain a presence there through part of the '60s. Upon the departure of the military, the Boeing Co. would build an assembly plant for the B-747 on land just north of Paine Field. Photograph ordered by Jack Hart in November, 1968.
