Some More on Camp Davis

Looked Camp Davis up in Wikipedia and found out some of the numbers were different from in the Topsail Coaster Magazine.

It was built by the US Army starting in December 1940 for use as an antiaircraft training facility. It was manned by about 20,000 officers and men.

There were 3000 buildings on 45,538 acres including two 5,000 foot runways. The camp closed in 1944 when the antiaircraft training was transferred elsewhere.

Apparently, the two runways are still being used by the Marine Corps.

This is close to present day Camp Leguene.

I have heard that very little remains of Camp Davis.
