## Description

Carl Spaatz grew up a few miles from this field, went on to command US air forces over Europe and became the first Chief of Staff of the US Air Force — Reading named its airport after him. Scheduled airlines are long gone, leaving the field to general aviation and corporate traffic. No freight moves here: Berks County's shipments truck to Allentown or Philadelphia. The city's logistics fame is anchored elsewhere anyway — the Reading Railroad earned its immortality on the Monopoly board. And every June, the Mid-Atlantic Air Museum's World War II Weekend fills the sky with warbirds.
