During World War II, Hilo International Airport was renamed to honor the first Hawaiian born United States General, which resulted in the name General Lyman Field. Throughout the ensuing second half of the 20th century, General Lyman Field granted Hawaiians and Hawaiian tourists access from the island of Hawaii to other Hawaiian Islands and also transcontinental destinations. At one point, you could even catch a flight from General Lyman Field to Tokyo, Japan. Today, if you want to reach Hilo International Airport, you can easily do so from the Hilo Bay area.
