MIDWAY AIRPORT HISTORIANS

Welcome to the Midway Historians Website

Welcome aboard. We hope you enjoy your flight through 92 years of Midway Airport history!

The airport has birthed a multitude of stories, photos, sights, and sounds. We endeavor to share a few such memories in these pages. Arguably no other airfield on earth evokes more intensity, bravado, adventure, allure, romance, or celebrity than this one-square-mile of real estate located just nine miles southwest of the Chicago Loop.

The Midway Historians are a group of individuals that are dedicated to preserving the rich history of Chicago Midway Airport. Our mission is to discover, chronicle, and share the history of Chicago Aviation and in particular, its legacy airport, Midway. We are passionate about the people, aircraft, and the airlines that have served this amazing aerodrome over the decades!

We want to hear from you! We are always looking for new material — be it stories, photos, or videos. Please consider sharing your favorite Midway memories with us!
