Cachets should be listed in chronological order based on earliest known usage. Use
the postmark date or best guess. This applies to add-on cachets as well.
The Naval Air Station (NAS) was authorized by an Act of Congress, signed by President Herbert Hoover on 12 February 1931. Construction of the original facilities was begun 8 July 1931. The base was originally named Airbase Sunnyvale CA. The original station was commissioned on 12 April 1933 and dedicated NAS Sunnyvale, CA. After the death of Rear Admiral William A. Moffett, who is credited with the creation of the airfield, in the loss of the USS Akron on 4 April 1933, the airfield at NAS Sunnyvale was renamed NAS Moffett Field on 1 September 1933.
On 1 July 1994, NAS Moffett Field was closed as a Naval Air Station and turned over to the NASA Ames Research Center. NASA Ames now operates the facility as Moffett Federal Airfield.
