Cloncurry was involved with the beginnings of QANTAS, and the original QANTAS Hangar is still in use at the aerodrome, where “Queensland and Northern Territory Aerial Service” is still displayed above the hangar door. The Royal Flying Doctor Service was founded there in 1928, now recognised the world over. The airport was also on route for early planes coming from overseas and a stopping place for contestants in the great air races of 1919 and 1934. World War II Due to the strategic importance of Cloncurry aerodrome on the main Darwin–Sydney air route, the Royal Australian Air Force expanded the aerodrome during World War II. Intended to be a major airbase should the Imperial Japanese have occupied New Guinea and Papua. During the Second World World War II, Cloncurry Airport was the site of a major United States Army Air Force air base in 1942. As the war moved north, the USAAF units located north to forward bases.
