EMERGENCY LANDING FIELDS IN THE UNITED STATES Following is a list of emergency landing fields in the United States which have been inspected and classified, or which are known to be in accordance with tentative designations given in the list; or are in actual course of preparation. In many instances work is being prosecuted on municipal and other airdromes.

The emergency list totals approximately 1,000. These fields are to be regarded as merely the first step in the establishment of air harbors. Contrasted with the 115 permanent fields or seaplane stations they become an incentive to the

immediate establishment of a nation-wide system of aerial stations and terminals. The numbers at the left-hand side of this landing field list are those which have been assigned by the Army Air Service in connection with the national system of city numbering; under this system all municipalities of 2,000 population or over have been assigned numbers in accordance with a definite geographical program. The work of numbering cities of all the states in the Union has not as yet been completed.

Every state is being given a letter symbol. Anniston, Alabama, is thus known to the air tourist as AL-72, and so on.
