Arizona's Tie to British History at Falcon Field
Falcon Field
Arizona does have The London Bridge but I wouldn't recommend it for visitors to the State. An interesting stop on the way to the Grand Canyon might be Falcon Field in Mesa just east of Phoenix. This outpost of an airport has some unlikely ties to British Military history. Falcon Field was once a training field for the RAF during World War II.
At the beginning of World War II the RAF was looking for a place to train pilots and settled on six locations in the United States including one in the Arizona desert. These Civilian Pilot Training Schools were contracted as British Flying Training Schools prior to US entering the war.
The first cadets of the British Royal Air Force arrived in 1941. The good weather, wide-open spaces, and lack of enemy airpower provided significantly safer and more efficient training than was possible in England.
The airport owner, Hollywood producer Leland Hayward and his partner Pilot Jack Connelly lobbied to have the British choose the Mesa location. Up to that time the airfield had been used to ferry movie stars back and forth from California. Hayward wanted to support the war effort and gain some exposure for his fledgling airline, Southwest Airways which he started with funding from friends like Henry Fonda, Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, James Stewart, Hoagy Carmichael and others. During the time the RAF was using the airport Falcon Field was used as a location for the Thunder Birds film starring Gene Tierney. Some RAF cadet were featured in the movie. The RAF cadets and were frequently befriended by Hollywood's elite.
While the RAF cadets may have suffered from some culture shock by being transported to the desert, many managed to enjoy their stay by spending time with Hollywood starlets, swimming in the Falcon Field pool and playing cowboy-horseback riding across the rugged Arizona terrain.
Who could blame them? These young cadets knew they would soon be going back to England to face the war and an uncertain, maybe short future. Many did not even escape the perils of training and twenty-three British cadets, one American cadet and four instructors were killed at Falcon Field. These RAF Veterans are now buried in the Mesa City Cemetery, along with several of their colleagues who have since died of natural causes. Several thousand pilots were trained there until the RAF installation was closed at the end of World War II.
Falcon Field hosts regular reunions for the RAF veterans in the newer Falcon Field hanger. Now home to a museum and the Commemorative Air Force, this hanger is transported into a 1940's ‘USO" show where visitors can recount old stories and relive memories. Many of the RAF cadets returned after the war and live in Arizona. They generously volunteer at the museum, share photos and accounts of the rich history of this unique time. (including the photos displayed here)
Falcon Field hosts air shows and has one air museum open to the public. The Arizona Wing of the Commemorative Air Force has a variety of aircraft from WW I through Vietnam, including the most fully restored B-17 flying today B-17G Flying Fortress Sentimental Journey, B-25, C-45, SNJ, F4 Phantom, Migs 15 & 21 and other warbirds.
Falcon Field and The Arizona Wing of the Commemorative Air Force Museum is located at 2017 N. Greenfield Road, at the intersection of Greenfield and Mckellips Road in Mesa, Arizona. For more information please visit the CAF website at: www.azcaf.org

Why are the mass immigration lobby so dim?
They come up with the history of the British Isles, yet completely miss the point about immigration and invasion.
I can only guess they employ illegals? For self gain?
LOL @ Harry Lime, so 3,000,000 Muslims alone is not mass immigration ? AND about 4 million other foreigners in our country ?.
What would constitute "mass immigration" if millions is not enough for you ?
I hope you are not another closet Asian.
