What was once Stow Field, a small airport in a rural community, stands at the center of this story. It was Kent State’s participation in the federal government’s Civilian Pilot Training Program (CPTP) in the years leading up to World War II that led to state funding for purchase of the airport, along with support for a similar acquisition by four other state schools.
