abstract
  • Several airfields in the immediate vicinity of NAS Fort Lauderdale were commissioned as Navy satellite or outlying fields. Several of these fields continue in operation today as civilian airports, such as Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport and North Perry Airport. Training was difficult and dangerous. From 1942 through 1946, 94 trainees lost their lives while serving at the Naval Air Station. Fourteen of those men made up a five-aircraft flight, now known as Flight 19, that disappeared while on a routine training mission on December 5, 1945. The need to train Avenger crews having passed, the station was decommissioned after 1946 and the facility was conveyed to the government of Broward County, Florida for use as a civilian airport. Today the facility is known as Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.
