Description: An inside view of Lunken Airport, the municipal commercial airport of Cincinnati in the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s. Owned by the city of Cincinnati, Lunken Field (or Cincinnati Municipal Lunken Airport) is about 3 miles southeast of downtown Cincinnati. Situated in the Little Miami River Valley near Columbia, the first Cincinnati area settlement in 1788, this airport served as a commercial airport from the 1920s to the 1940s. At the time of the dedication in 1925, the 1, 000 acre airport was the largest municipal airport in the world. Following the catastrophic flooding of the Ohio River in 1947, the municipal airport was removed to Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport. View on Ohio Memory.
