Roger, Some of the WWII buildings at the old Marianna base still stand (and there is a really nice cache of buried machine gun ammunition around there somewhere too according to records from when the base was closed). The WWII subsidiary fields at Malone and Bascom can still be seen. I'm not sure about the one at Alliance. I've never gone and actually looked at that one. Nothing remains of the P.O.W. camp where German prisoners were kept in Marianna. I know there is at least one unaccounted for helicopter missing in Northwest Florida. It was thought to have gone down in the Choctawhatchee River swamp in Holmes County. Dale caverarch@aol.com wrote: > >Dale, > > > >I'm not surprised.? Military aviation has been such a part of Panhandle history in the 20th century.? There are so many abandoned or adaptively reused WWII fields around, as I'm sure you know.? What I'm afraid has probably disappeared are the military buildings of the WWII era that still survived into the Sixties.? Another Civil Air Patrol function took place at a former Army Air Force field that served as the Apalachicola airport.?
