Austin Straubel Airport and Old Hangar
| The new passenger terminal at Austin Straubel Airport completed in 1965, with the old hangar in the background. The need for the larger facility reflected Green Bay's importance as regional air traffic hub. Austin Straubel Field became the Brown County airport in 1948, replacing Blesch Field. In keeping with wartime practice, the field was named in honor of Green Bay's Austin Straubel, a lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army Air Corps who was killed in the Pacific in 1942. |
