Falcon Field | Arizona Stories Shorts
Every year at a cemetery in Mesa, former British pilots return to remember the men who died while training at Falcon Field during World War II. The ceremony celebrates the bond between the United States and Great Britain in war and peace. British pilots began training in the Sonoran Desert at Falcon Field in 1941, and they were quickly accepted by the local population.
Today, Falcon Field Airport is home for nearly 1,000 aircraft and multiple businesses. Very little remains of the site where the RAF cadets lived and trained.
