Government Field|Dayton, Ohio (Location Key)

The Wright Brothers were from Dayton, Ohio, and Orville Wright leased the airfield he built just north of Dayton to the U.S. Army in 1917. This North Field is presumably the location that Faulkner has in mind as the spot from which Bayard Sartoris takes off for his final, fatal flight. The event and the place are described most fully in Flags in the Dust, but they are also referred to in three other texts.
