Woodward Field (IATA: CDN, ICAO: KCDN, FAA LID: CDN) is a county-owned public-use airport located three nautical miles (6 km) northeast of the central business district of Camden, a city in Kershaw County, South Carolina, United States. It is also known as the Kershaw County Airport. The airport serves the general aviation community, with no scheduled commercial airline service. History
Woodward Field is named for philanthropist and equestrian Ernest Woodward, who donated 160 acres of land for an airport in 1929. The airport was opened in November 1937.
In 1941 the United States Army Air Forces indicated a need for the airfield as a training airfield. Activated on 22 March 1941, Woodward Field was used by the Army Air Forces Flying Training Command, Southeast Training Center (later Eastern Flying Training Command) as a basic flying training airfield, with instruction being carried out by the 64th Flying Training Detachment. The Camden-based Southern Aviation School was the civilian contractor performing the basic flight training. Flying training was performed with Fairchild PT-19s as the primary trainer. Also had several PT-17 Stearmans and a few P-40 Warhawks assigned.
Robert K. Morgan, pilot of the Memphis Belle B-17 aircraft, had his primary training at Woodward Field. Along with the USAAF flying cadets, Royal Air Force personnel were also trained at Woodward. Two small turf airfields were also used by the training school during the war.
Flying training ended on 4 August 1944 and afterwords the airfield returned to civil control
