The airport was originally built by famous aviation pioneer Glenn Curtiss, recipient of the first pilot's license in the USA, and was known as Glenn Curtiss Flying School and Glenn Curtiss Field. Curtiss had moved another training facility near downtown out to Northwest Dade County. The airport was served by general aviation, airmail flights, flying schools including Embry-Riddle's school, and scheduled passenger service. Curtiss donated the airport to the City of Miami in 1928 and the airport's name was changed to Miami Municipal Airport. Sources state that the airport was served by Pan American Airways, Eastern Air Lines and National Airlines. Pan American moved their Miami Municipal operations to Pan American Field in 1932 where they had been operating since 1928 and Captain Rickenbacker moved the Eastern Air Lines passenger flights to the 36th Street Airport in 1934. National Air Lines began using Miami Municipal Airport in 1936 with flights to St. Petersburg, Florida. Miami Municipal Airport hosted the All-American Aerial Maneuvers from 1929 to 1941. The airport had three hangars at one time, with one having the word "MIAMI" painted on the roof but one of the hangars burned down in April 1938. Thanks To And More Information At:
