Wardwell Field was a public airport approximately six miles (9.7 km) north of Casper, Wyoming. Constructed in 1927, the airport was named two years later for Maj. Doyen Wardwell, a World War I aviator and advocate for aviation in the state of Wyoming who was killed in a crash near the airport in August 1929. Closed in 1952, the former airport site is now the location of the town of Bar Nunn.[1]
