Relief Landing Field
Shepard

Base / Station: Shepard

Province: Alberta

Dates of Operation or Period of Information:  WWII

Integral Units: 

Unit Duties / Information:  There seems to be some debate as to which relief aerodromes around Calgary were assgned to which primary aerodromes. Different sources show Shepard as being the:

• Primary Relief Field for Calgary (Currie/ Lincoln Park)
• Primary Relief Field for DeWinton
• Relief Field for No 37 SFTS based out of Calgary (Municipal)
• Flying Base for No 2 Wireless School

all of these would make sence and may have been the case.  I suspect more research may be required in this area. (Nathan)

Financial Impact:  

Date / Reason for Closure:

Current Status: airfield located south-east of city along Deerfoot Trail.  Nothing of this aerodrome remains.
