"Previously referred to as the Stephenville Air Base, the site was officially named Harmon Field on June 23, 1941 in honour of Capt. Ernest Emery Harmon, a pioneer in United States military aviation history who had served with the U.S. Air Corps during the First World War." "By mid-1943, 17 U.S. military units and more than 4,000 American soldiers were assigned to the base," and at its peak "approximately 30,000 troops pass through each year." "The American Air Force continued to use Harmon Field as a site for the air defence of North America until it closed in 1966." source
