History

Ottumwa Naval Air Station was constructed as a Naval Training Center during World War II. The facility, which is located approximately convert|5|mi|km northwest of the central business district, served as a primary flight training center. Former U.S. President Richard M. Nixon served here from October 1942 until May 1943. [ [http://www.history.navy.mil/faqs/faq60-8.htm Commander Richard M. Nixon, USNR] at U.S. Navy Naval Historical Center]

In October 1947, the Navy abandoned the air station, and sold it to the City of Ottumwa. In December, 1947, Central States Airlines began commercial air service to Ottumwa. Ottumwa was later served by Braniff Airlines, and then Ozark Airlines. [ [http://www.ozarkairlines.com/ Ozark Airlines: 1950 - 1986] ] Ozark Airlines ended service to Ottumwa in the late 1970s and was replaced by Mississippi Valley Airlines until 1983.
