In 1940, the Lockheed Aircraft Company, then the largest US aircraft manufacturer, purchased and renamed the Union Air Terminal airport of Los Angeles (now known as the Bob Hope Airport). The airport saw production of bombers and fighters during World War II, and was even camouflaged as houses along with grain and alfalfa fields to thwart any airborne attacks. It was known as the Lockheed Air Terminal from 1940-1967. The badge is by the Whitehead & Hoag Company and is named to W. Prodanovic.
