Subject: FW: Billy Mitchell question - list serve
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?
