AIRPORT DIRECTORY 
PART II
INTRODUCTION

All airports and established landing fields and seaplane bases in the United States of record with the Civil Aeronautics Authority are described in the series of seven parts which comprise the Directory of Airports and Seaplane Bases, Civil Aeronautics Bulletin No. 11. Included are municipal, commercial, and private airports; marked auxiliary landing fields; Civil Aeronautics Authority intermediate landing fields; State fields; Army aerodromes and Naval air stations; and other Government landing facilities.
Formerly this information was published in one volume (Descriptions of Airports and Landing Fields in the United States, Airway Bulletin No 2) but for the sake of convenience to the user it was decided to issue this revised material in seven parts, east part corresponding to a Civil Aeronautics Authority region. Thus Part II covers the airports and landing fields in Region No. 2, which is comprised of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee. The Frontispiece shows the various C.A.A regions, and the reader can thus readily ascertain in which region, and therefore in which part of the bulletin, any particular State may be located.

The airports and landing fields in each part are presented alphabetically by States, with descriptions of seaplane facilities appearing in each part following the descriptions of land plane facilities. The descriptions have been standardized to facilitate reference and use, and while they do not include all details to be found at the airports and landing fields, they were prepared with the thought of furnishing the outstanding essential facts which are desired by airmen contemplating flights to airports and landing fields with which they may be wholly or partially unfamiliar. 

TO avoid any misinterpretation of the terms "runaways" and "strips," as used in the descriptions, the following definitions are given: "Runaways" are hard-surfaced, i.e., concrete, asphalt, macadam, grave, etc,; "strips" are of sod, clay, sand, or oiled surface. 

In cases where hangar space, personnel for servicing, aviation fuel, and minor or complete repair facilities are available, the term "Servicing" is used. Where only limited service may be obtained, that which is available is listed. 

In reference to seaplane landing facilities, the term "seaplane base" denotes facilities equipped to render full servicing, including hangar, ramp, beach, repairs, aviation fuel, etc., while "seaplane anchorage" includes limited facilities such as a float and aviation fuel.
