Gary Field

         There was another airfield in Blythe, Gary Field, near the present-day golf course, which had a private pilot training school known as the Morton Air Academy. The school was contracted by the Army Air Corps early in the war to give primary training to Air Corps cadets. Gary Field had a total of three auxiliary airfields during World War II.

I'm not sure who owns the field but it has been boarded and fenced for the last 50 years.

Typical of the decay of the buildings
