Logan Airport is dedicated.

Originally Jeffrey Field, and then Boston Airport, it is located on 189 acres of tidal flats at Jeffries Point. Some 10,000 people attend the opening ceremony, which includes an airplane race to Boston Light. Initially operated by the U.S. Army Air Corps, it is taken over by the state in 1928, , which leases it to the city of Boston in 1929, resumes control in 1941,* and turns it over to the Massachusetts Port Authority in 1959. Passenger trips begin in the late 1930s and commercial trips in 1946. Renamed Commonwealth Airport in 1944, it is renamed for Maj. Gen. Edward Logan of the 101st Infantry Regiment (Yankee Division) in World War I in 1956, even though Logan had never flown in an airplane. The airport subsequently becomes the 16th busiest in the U.S., and expands to over 2,000 acres.
