Battlefield Airport
The Battlefield Airport was the Gettysburg Battlefield site of the Battlefield Airways, Inc. west of the Peach Orchard between the Emmitsburg road and Warfield Ridge. The corporation and airfield were operated in the 1920s by , an aeronautical record holder and former Air Service pilot who subsequently was a Lockheed test pilot. His wife, Clair May Fahy, also operated from the airfield and flew a Travel Air with Curtiss OX-5 in the 1929 Women's Air Derby. The airport was denied a 1928 state Public Service Commission charter to fly sightseers over the battlefield because it would compete with the Gettysburg Flying Service, where a new airport was built in 1942 and re-established in 1969.
