Peace Tradesport?


Not Peace, Pease. Pease International Tradeport, the former Pease Air Force
Base, named in honor of Captain Harl Pease, Jr.

Despite repeated attacks on his B-17 by enemy fighters on August 17th, 1942,
Captain Pease completed bombing an enemy airdrome at Rabaul, New Britain.
The airplane did not return from this mission, Captain Pease was
posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor.
