Introduction

St Louis Airport (STL) is one of the most historic airports in the United States. It was at Lambert-St Louis International Airport (STL) that Theodore Roosevelt became the first American President to take a plane flight. The field was also the location of the world's first parachute jump.

Developed in 1920 by Major Lambert, the airbase at Kinloch Field became the first municipal airport in the United States in 1928.
