Wuhan Wangjiadun Airport (Chinese: 武汉王家墩机场) (IATA: WJD, ICAO: ZHWT), also known as Hankow Airfield, was an airfield in Wangjiadun, Hankou (Hankow), Hubei, China that closed in 2007. Constructed in 1931, it was a busy military airfield during the Second Sino-Japanese War in WWII, used by both the Chinese and her American allies, the USAAF Fourteenth Air Force. From 1950, the military airfield was managed by the People's Liberation Army Air Force. From the mid 1980s to 2007, it was also a civil airfield.
