Dennison Airport was an airfield operational in the mid-20th century in Quincy, Massachusetts, United States.[1]

History

In 1927, a small civilian airfield was established at Squantum near the intersection of East Squantum Street and Quincy Shore Drive. Amelia Earhart, when she lived in Medford, Massachusetts, was a share-holding director and helped finance the construction of the airport. She also flew on the first official flight out of the airport on September 3, 1927.[2][3] On September 28, 1927, Thea Rasche, a famous German aviator, crashed at Dennison Airport while attempting to land her Flamingo biplane [4] The plane was damaged, but Rasche was uninjured. Dennison Airport closed down in 1942[1] and its land was taken over by the Navy for the expansion of the Naval Air Station Squantum.
