| • Harvey Field was commissioned at the auxiliary landing
field at Inyokern, and the first facilities of the fledgling NOTS were
established here while the building of the actual NOTS base at China Lake
commenced. Testing began at China lake within less than a month of the
Station's formal establishment in November 1943, and by mid-1945 NOTS'
aviation assets were transferred to the new Armitage Field at the China Lake
site. |
