Such aviation luminaries as Charles Lindberg, Wiley Post, and Jimmy Dooliltle attended. In 1934, Post tried to set an aviation altitude record from Curtiss. By 1938, civilian and military operations both ran out of the field, but in 1940, it was sold outright to the United States Navy. The name was officially changed to the Naval Air Station Glenview on January 1, 1943.) The sign measures 27 1/2 inches long and 5 3/4 inches tall.
