From Wikipedia in part:

"During World War II, Logan Field, along with the newly constructed adjacent Baltimore Municipal Airport, was controlled by the military. In 1943, Logan was closed to air traffic and converted into a prisoner-of-war camp for Axis soldiers, mainly Germans and a few Italians. It was one of several hundred such camps housing German P.O.W.'s, who provided labor at farms in the area.

Logan Field was not reopened after World War II. Instead, civil aviation moved to the newer, more modern and expansive facilities at the Baltimore Municipal Airport, which had been constructed adjacent to Logan Field beginning in 1929, and featured a 1930s Art Deco-style passenger terminal. The terminal served the patrons of Pan-American Airways' "Flying Clipper" service — featuring the new Boeing Company "flying boats" — which offered routes across the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, although with several stages and stops."
