Hickam, a pioneer military aviator, died after crashing his Curtiss A-12 Shrike on November 5, 1934 while conducting a night landing on an unlighted runway at Fort Crockett, Texas. On May 31, 1935 ground was broken at Hickam Field after being designated by the war department in Washington D.C. on May 21 1935. (U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt. Aaron Oelrich/Released)
