Carruthers Field, Former military airfield in Benbrook, Texas
Located half a mile north of Benbrook, the field contained 16 hangars arranged around a central flying area for military training operations.
Established in 1917 as Taliaferro Field #3, the airfield trained American and Canadian pilots during World War I under the Royal Flying Corps program.
The field maintains historical importance through a Texas commemorative marker north of Mercedes Street, recording the achievements of military aviation training.
The former airfield location now contains residential developments in the Benbrook Lakeside subdivision, with scattered concrete remnants from original structures.
Captain Vernon Castle, a notable aviator and dancer, died in a training accident at this field in February 1918, leading to a street naming in his memory.
