But there was once a pasture on the site of this international airport, and in 1927 a small temporary airfield was built here, which was called the Municipal Airport of San Francisco Mills Field. But this airfield quickly proved its importance, acquired permanent air carriers, and by 1937 the airport was significantly expanded and a new terminal building was built. This airport also affected sunny California during the war. In the 40s it was used as a base for the Coast Guard and for training army aviation. After the end of the war, the airport began to operate international flights and was a stopover for long-haul flights. The popularity of the airport increased and in 1953-57 another modernization and expansion was carried out. A modern spacious terminal building was built, and an exposition of aircraft was located on its territory. At the time, San Francisco Airport operated over 100 flights a day. Throughout its existence, San Francisco Airport was closed for only one day, after the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake.
