Although long gone, Kinloch Flying Field played a major role in the early days of aviation at St. Louis. Jack Abercrombie of the Greater St. Louis Air and Space Museum based at St. Louis Downtown Airport in Cahokia, IL has written a fantastic article about the history of Kinloch Field that you can read here: http://airandspacemuseum.org/KINLOCH...NG%20FIELD.pdf

I highly recommend it!
