Mitchel Field Air Force Base also known as Mitchel Field, was a United States Air Force Base located on the Hempstead Plains of Long Island, New York. Established in 1918 as Hazelh urst Aviation Field #2, the facility was renamed later that year as Mitchel Field in honor of former New York City Mayor, John Purroy Mitchel, who was killed in a training accident. Decommissioned in 1961, Mitchel Field became a multi-use complex that is home to the Cradle of Aviation Museum today! This commemorative T-shirt was designed by Air Force Veteran, Darren Moore, owner of Bunker 27 Apparel, who researched and brought to life the history of this iconic Long Island Air Base.
