Biggs Field(s)[edit]

About 1 July 1926 The Biggs Field established at Camp Owen Bierne was closed and a new Biggs Field was established. The 2d Division Air Service, consisting of the 12th Observation Squadron and the 1st Photographic Section departed "old" Biggs on 22 June 1926. No squadron-size units were located at the "new" Biggs until 1941, when the 120th Observation Squadron arrived. --Lineagegeek (talk) 12:36, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I don't disagree, but was unable to find any WP:RS that said this.Mztourist (talk) 11:01, 20 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

How about the morgue (clippings maintained by the archives editor) of The El Paso Times. This would take a local wikipedian or student. The observer function might have shrunk down to a cadre of officers in the Aviation branch, and a few enlisted men of the appropriate MOS, perhaps in the Signal Corps, during peacetime. Fort Bliss still had horses and a Cavalry battalion.^[1] --Ancheta Wis (talk | contribs) 11:17, 20 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
