Collecting, Preserving and Sharing Stories Since 1846

Does anyone have information honoring Billy Mitchell such as a memorial, pa rk, statue? It seems as if Wisconsin does not honor him as they should. In Alaska, there is a mountain named after him and a huge wooden sign in the e ntrance to the park telling about his being the forerunner of aviation. I was reminded of this question again in the Forward in Flight newsletter w here there is a picture of him and his plane with no other article. Mention ed are pictures of other aviators located in the Mitchell Gallery of Flight
. Where might that gallery be?
