WarlordATF 1 Posted April 14, 2009 (edited) Yeah, i heard about this earlier today, Sad and Great at the same time. I live in Fort Myers, I'll have to check out your link because i'm wondering if they landed him at RSW or Page Field. RSW is our major international airport and Page field was a fighter base in WWII. They operated P-40s,P-39s and some bombers from Page,I read that its claim to fame is a section of runway was marked to simulate a carrier deck to see if the bombers could takeoff and land for the Doolittle raid. Now its a GA Airfield and still in use. Heres a link to the Doolittle Raid Info, Look under Southwest Florida... http://www.fsu.edu/~ww2/fl_during_ww2/flor...itary_bases.htm Edited April 14, 2009 by WarlordATF Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
