St. Angelo Airport

St. Angelo Airport (now Enniskillen Airport) was a former RAF airfield situated near the village of Trory. It was established in 1941 and originally designated as a fighter station used to intercept enemy reconnaissance and assist in the air defence over Belfast. A small detachment of US Naval aviators arrived in July 1943 and remained there until the end of the war as instructors to RAF pilots learning how to fly Catalinas.
