Line) operated a three-times daily passenger service to Hoover Field, Washington, D.C. from 6 July to 30 October 1926 using Fokker F.VII Trimotors.

[1] In the mid-1920s a group of local businessmen started looking for a better site on which to establish a larger, modern airport more befitting the US's third largest city.

[4] It was equipped with the most modern facilities including radio, a beacon on a 50 ft (15 m) tower, boundary lighting and a one million candlepower floodlight to illuminate the airfield.

This was in time for the arrival of the 1929 Ford National Reliability Air Tour, whose 29 competing aircraft, accompanied by 17 more carrying officials, support crew and press, arrived from Roosevelt Field, New York on 8 October, leaving for Logan Field, Baltimore the following day.

The Ludington airline offered air taxi, pleasure flights, aircraft hire and instruction.

[10] After great initial success, it was unable to gain a mail contract, and was taken over by Eastern Air Transport in 1933.

By 1933 there were three 2,500 ft (760 m) runways, described as "asphaltic oil treated gravel & macadam", arranged in a standard triangular pattern.

[7] RCA had many facilities in Camden, so it was natural for them to set up RCA Manufacturing Company Aviation Radio headquarters in its own hangar, recently vacated by Jacobs Engines at the north side of the airfield, including a demonstration center for its latest aviation radio equipment.

[14] The site was very popular with other businesses setting up adjacent to it, including bars and restaurants, the Central Airport Swimming Pool, the world's first drive-in movie theatre,[15] and a dog-racing track (later a general sports stadium).

[4] In 1938 W. Wallace Kellett and his well-known test pilot Johnny Miller suggested to Eddie Rickenbacker of Eastern Air Lines that he establish an autogyro mail-carrying service between the rooftop of the Philadelphia 30th Street Post Office and Camden Central Airport.

It had a flat asphalt roof with underfloor heating, take-off ramps at the sides, radio and weather reporting equipment, and fuelling and maintenance facilities.

However, the runways were too short for modern airliners and there was no room for expansion, so they all moved to the new Philadelphia Municipal Airport as soon as its new terminal opened the same year.
