Camp Skeel: WWII Fighters

Oscoda, Michigan · Iosco County · Great Lakes & Military

Curtiss P-40 Warhawks stand in a line at Camp Skeel in Oscoda during World War II. This Michigan Moments video looks at the aircraft and the northern Michigan military site associated with pilot training.

The wartime scene belongs to an earlier chapter of the installation later known as Wurtsmith Air Force Base. This Moment keeps the Camp Skeel photograph separate from the 1960s flight-line video, with its own publication link, poster and mapped point.
