Dorr Field Historic Site

Save

Sister World War I training field east of Arcadia, later a World War II primary flight school — now largely returned to private land.

East of Arcadia, FL (private land; no public access)

No public access; historical reference only

Dorr Field was established alongside Carlstrom Field in early 1918 to train Army Air Service pilots, and was reactivated in World War II as a primary flight training school where many British RAF cadets earned their wings. Today little remains above ground and the land is private; there is no public exhibit or marker site to tour.
