Neat photograph of the big hanger at Wardwell Field, Casper's second airport (many believe it was the first, but a field in what is now Evansville was actually the first). Today, the hanger is used by a boat vendor, and the runways are streets for Bar Nunn.
Interesting to see it actually in use, with some fairly substantial aircraft. This airfield continued to serve Casper until either the late 1940s or the early 1950s, at which time the government granted the airfield built during World War Two to the county, which is now the Natrona County International Airport. The area depicted above still has an airfield in the vicinity, however, that being Hartford Field, which is a small private airfield just across the highway.
