[edit] History
Constructed in 1927 as a civilian airport, Page Field was appropriated by the War Department at the beginning of World War II. Renamed Fort Myers Army Air Field, it was used by the United States Army Air Force's Third Air Force for both antisubmarine patrols and conventional bomber training in the B-24 Liberator.[2] The facility was returned to the civilian control of the State of Florida and then Lee County shortly following the end of World War II.
