Moffett Field - 1933

 

 

This is a page from an early 1930s Mountain View High School year book. It shows Moffett Field just after opening in 1933. Most of the buildings seen in this picture still stand today. The road going through the left corner of the picture is Highway 101 back when it was known as the Bayshore Road. Moffett Field grew to become an important factor in the growth of Mountain View and the aerospace and later high tech industries of the Silicon Valley.

 

Plans to convert the field into a premier educational and research institution run by NASA could prove to have equally great impacts on the future of Mountain View.
