Location of Henderson Auxiliary Field

Henderson Auxiliary Field is a closed facility of the United States Army that is located two miles (3.2 km) north-northeast of Millers Ferry, Alabama. Following its closure, it was reopened as Henderson Airport.

History

The airport was built in about 1942 as an auxiliary airfield to the Army pilot school at Craig Army Airfield. It was designated Craig Army Auxiliary Airfield #3. It had two 4,000-foot asphalt runways, oriented NNE/SSW & WNW/ESE. The field was said to not have any hangars. It was apparently unmanned unless necessary for aircraft recovery.
