scroll down half way.


"A civil airfield was first established by the
Territory of Hawaii on this site in 1937

to replace a smaller airfield at Maalaea.

Inter-Island Airways began service from the
Puunene Airport in 1939.



Navy use of the airfield began in 1940,

When elements of Utility Squadron VJ-3 arrived to
tow targets & operate target drones for the fleet.

The Army Air Corps also established a small
support base at the airfield in the same year.



The base was commissioned as Naval Air Station
Maui in 1942.

The Navy's facilities at the field were expanded,
to support CASU 4 & VF-72."
