Jiangwan Airport is a former airport, located in the northeast part of Shanghai in the People’s Republic of China. The airport was redeveloped and the land is currently part of the urban area of the city.

History

During World War II, the airport was known as Kiangwan (Jiangwan) Airfield and was used by the United States Army Air Forces Fourteenth Air Force as part of the China Defensive Campaign (1942–1945). Kiangwan was used as the headquarters of the 1st Combat Cargo Group at the end of the war, its primary mission being the airlift of Chinese troops in and out of the Shanghai region. The airfield was also the home of the Air Technical Service Command "Shanghai Air Depot", which opened in October 1945 to supervise the deposition of Allied and captured Japanese aircraft in China. Kiangwan Airfield operated Air Transport Command services and flights from Shanghai as part of its Western Pacific Wing until 31 December 1947 when the ATC facilities were closed, and American forces left the area.^[1]
