An Operational Training Unit was used at the airport to train the four members of the crew for World War II action: Pilot, Navigator, Wireless Air Gunner and Air Gunner. The Royal Canadian Air Force allowed the Royal Canadian Navy to use their equipment for High Frequency Direction Finding activities against German submarines in the Atlantic.

In October 2012, Pennfield had a major highway route change when a realignment of Route 1 opened, creating a continuous freeway from the American Border to the Trans-Canada Highway at River Glade. [1]
