The wartime-installation item asks for the airfield or base as an installation, whole. For Mishawaka the answer is the airports pass's answer, printed here at military size: the city never had an airfield of its own in any war — no municipal field, no training field, no auxiliary strip on Mishawaka ground appears in the record the airports pass searched whole, and no proposal for one was found there. The county's wartime airfield was Bendix Field, across the river on South Bend ground — the field the Bendix corporation's name marks — and its wartime course is South Bend's, boundary-printed here in one line. The installation Mishawaka actually hosted in the wars was not an airfield but a factory system, and it stands as the next entry: the defense city. This entry's work is the negative, and it is a firm one, because it rests on a pass that went looking for exactly this: an installation history with zero installations, the air above the city flown from the county seat's field in war as in peace.
