Boeing Air Transport was the first air carrier to start service to the Oakland Airport 12/1927; the passenger carrier, Trans-World Airlines began service five years later. The US Army Air Corps took control of the field during 1943, making alterations in order to utilize it as a Pacific supply terminal for the remainer of the World War II.
