Its area of coverage extended from New York City to the Canada–United States border. MissionThe air station's missions included search and rescue, law enforcement, counting migratory waterfowl for the U.S. Biological Survey and assisting icebound islands by delivering provisions.[1] OperationsCoast Guard Air Station (CGAS) Salem was located on Winter Island in Salem, Massachusetts at {{Coord|42|31|35|N|70|52|07|W|type:city}}. HistoryWith little room to expand at Gloucester, a new air station was established at Salem in 1935. Salem CGAS as it became to be known was built with a barracks, hangar, a tarmac, and a seaplane ramp. The station was built on land adjacent to the War of 1812 vintage Fort Pickering and was on the site of the construction of the sail frigate USS Essex in 1799. In 1950, Air Detachment Quonset Point, Rhode Island was established as a sub unit of Air Station Salem. During the 1950s, helicopters were introduced with a great deal of success as a rescue platform. With the development of the HH-52A, an amphibious helicopter, the need for a flying boat was lessened. Therefore, air stations having only water landing capabilities, such as Salem, were phased out. It was eventually replaced by Coast Guard Air Station Cape Cod in 1970.[2] The station's surviving facilities are part of Salem's Winter Island Marine Park.
