Between October and December 1935, crews cleared 2,225.46 acres that would be Hickam Field. Early installation of infrastructure, initial hangars, and roads were accomplished in 1936 and 1937 as more buildings were completed including the base water tower, operations building, and a number of hangars. The first units were stationed at Hickam Field beginning in September and October 1937. (U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt. Aaron Oelrich/Released)
