About West Field

Helm Field, also known as Lemoore Auxiliary Army Airfield A-7, is a historic site located in Coalinga, California, originally established during World War II for US Army pilot training. Covering 773 acres, it featured two 3,000-foot runways and supported various training programs, including the Lemoore Basic Flying School. After its closure in 1944, the airfield transitioned to a farm labor camp in the 1950s, with one runway repurposed for agricultural use, while the other remained operational for civilian purposes until 1971. This site may be of interest to those researching planning applications in the area, particularly regarding its historical significance and land use transitions.
