Dorr Field

Perhaps this shows the air field you went solo Danny?







"Dorr Field was reactivated on 10/4/41 as one of at least 5 satellite airfields used to support flight training operations at nearby Carlstrom Field,

where the Embry Riddle Academy operated a contract flight training school.

It was assigned to the USAAF East Coast Training Center (later Central Eastern Training Command) as a primary (Level 1) pilot training airfield,

and was operated by Embry-Riddle Corporation under 54th Flying Training Detachment primarily as a training airfield for Royal Air Force flying cadets"







As you pointed out, I think some of the captions with these photo's may be a bit misleading...

Cheers
