Pavement Evaluation : United States Naval Air Station, Miami, FL- 1946, May 15

NAS Miami consisted of the original training base, known as Mainside or Opa-locka, Miami Municipal Field and Masters Field. Activity continued on a reduced basis after the war. Masters Field became Marine Corps Air Station Miami (MCAS Miami). MCAS Miami was closed in 1959, the property was transferred to Dade County, and the Dade County Junior College opened there in 1961. In 1962 the remainder of the NAS property, except for a portion reserved for the U. S. Coast Guard, was transferred to Dade County, and became Opa-locka Airport.
