Billy Mitchell Airport
USA
"The airport is named after local legend Billy Mitchell who was a pilot in World War I and advocated an increased development in air power as an instrument to win future wars. His biggest cause was the advancement of aircraft bombing techniques that could sink battleships, and essentially give the allied forces an edge from the sky in any major battle. He put his theory to the test off the coast of Hatteras Island, and despite criticism and skepticism from powerful superior officials, conducted the first successful aerial bombing tests along the eastern coasts of North Carolina and Virginia. These initial, unpopular tests that were conducted in the 1920s would later prove instrumental procedures in the destruction of several German battleships in World War II. Court marshaled for his radical demonstrations and very opinionated views on the future of air warfare, and eventually removed from his military duties as a result, Mitchell's ideas were never quite accepted as common sense until after his death in 1936, when his methods were utilized in World War II to great success. The Billy Mitchell Airport both honors his off-island experiments as well as his tenacious, against the grain spirit, that fits in quite well on Hatteras Island." OuterBanks.com

More About USA

The United States is one of the most diverse countries on earth, jam packed full of amazing sights from St. Patrick's cathedral in New York to Mount Hollywood California.The Northeast region is where it all started. Thirteen British colonies fought the American Revolution from here and won their independence in the first successful colonial rebellion in history. Take a look at these rolling hills carpeted with foliage along the Hudson river here, north of New York City.The American south is known for its polite people and slow pace of life. Probably they move slowly because it's so hot. Southerners tend not to trust people from "up north" because they talk too fast. Here's a cemetery in Georgia where you can find graves of soldiers from the Civil War.The West Coast is sort of like another country that exists to make the east coast jealous. California is full of nothing but grizzly old miners digging for gold, a few gangster rappers, and then actors. That is to say, the West Coast functions as the imagination of the US, like a weird little brother who teases everybody then gets famous for making freaky art.The central part of the country is flat farmland all the way over to the Rocky Mountains. Up in the northwest corner you can find creative people in places like Portland and Seattle, along with awesome snowboarding and good beer. Text by Steve Smith.
