A visual history of O'Hare International Airport
Major changes have been a constant at O'Hare, from when construction equipment first tore up Orchard Place farmland to build a military aircraft assembly plant here in the early 1940s to the recent modernization plan's East-West runways which have cleared the way for the new terminal work.

This is the kind of article well worth reading. History of a great airport, in a well written and documented timeline, Slide show was magnificent and even had me sitting there naming the automobiles.
Great article! I just love me some history! Remember taking that railway to downtown Chicago once and only once! Scary place at night. My company was too cheap to rent a car or cab ride!.LOL long time ago.
Wasn't Ohare named after a WWII naval pilot?

Thanks, James. That was interesting.
Great story. Never knew where ORD designation came from until reading this but it now makes complete sense.
Now this is the type of stuff I like to see.
