Buchanan Field

Concord, CA USA (KCCR / CCR)

In the 1920's aircraft landed and took off from open fields. Landing speeds were so slow that they did not need runways. Thus names like Mines Field (now LAX), Mills Field (now SFO), Buchanan Field (Concord) came to be. Landing fields in our area were found at such places as Rio Del Mar, San Andreas, Palm Beach, one near Watsonville on Beach Road. One called Storms Field, on what is now called Freedom Blvd. near Mariposa Ave., was used by many barnstormers to sell rides as they flew from town to town.
