One additional piece of information.

The following is a citation about Mitchell from Billy Mitchell: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 1955 motion picture The Court-Martial of Billy Mitchell, directed by Otto Preminger, portrays Mitchell's plight in a dramatic and vindicating[citation needed] light.

  Does anyone have information honoring Billy Mitchell such as a memorial, park, 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 entrance to the park telling about his being the forerunner of aviation.

  I was reminded of this question again in the Forward in Flight newsletter where there is a picture of him and his plane with no other article. Mentioned are pictures of other aviators located in the Mitchell Gallery of Flight. Where might that gallery be?
