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?
