The US Congress authorized the construction of Albrook Field during 1928, allocating $1.9 million for construction. Actual construction began in 1930 and was completed in 1932 and the Field was commissioned during April 1932. During the 1930s, the base was expanded with additional buildings and the runways improved. On April 17, 1939 hard surfaced runways were opened at the airfield. On the southeast side of the airfield was a commercial air terminal that was camoflaged but used during WWII by Pan Am.
