KPQI Presque Isle AFB (1942-1945) - Retro of Presque Isle during WWII during its time ferrying aircraft to Europe

Situated very near the Canadian border, this airport in Maine played a major role in ferrying US aircraft to the United Kingdom during the Second World War, in conjunction with, among others, Montreal (CYUL), Goose Bay (CYYR), Gander (CYQX) in Newfoundland and Bluie West One (BGBW) in southern Greenland. Ernest K Gann operated from it in 1942 and it therefore features in his classic 'Fate is the Hunter'. By Ken Lawson, Uploaded by AVPView attachment 182995[ATTACH...
