Hankow Airfield (Chinese: 王家おうけ墩机场), also known as Wuhan Wangjiadun Airport, was an airfield in Wangjiadun, Hankou (Hankow), Hubei, China that closed in 2007. Constructed in 1931, it was a busy military airfield during the Second Sino-Japanese War in WWII, used by both the Chinese and her American allies, the USAAF Fourteenth Air Force.[1] From 1950, the military airfield was managed by the People's Liberation Army Air Force. From the mid 1980s to 2007, it was also a civil airfield. It was demolished in 2007 and transformed into the Wuhan Central Business District. The former site is near the junction of Huaihai Road (淮海路ろ) and Yunfei Road (云うん飞路), Wangjiadun neighborhood (王家おうけ墩), Wuhan. (30.601138, 114.244264)[2][3][4]
