	Floyd Bennett Field --Reading 3
		The main transcontinental ferry routes were laid out so that there would be airports or airfields where the planes could stop; these fields included ferry service units that specialized in providing ground support for the aircraft being ferried.
		Former Floyd Bennett Field pilot Giles Gianelloni explained that fleet pilots were sent directly from their carrier or home base to the factory to fly the new aircraft back to their ship or base.
		When Floyd Bennett Field became a naval air station, instructor pilots would split their time between ground and air training during the mornings and in the afternoons flying newly-built aircraft from the factories back to the station until dark.

	Design for an UN Legion -- Project on Defense Alternatives
		Each of the field bases would have at its disposal at least 18 utility helicopters, which could be used to ferry troops, and 300 ground vehicles including cargo trucks, tankers, repair and recovery vehicles, and ambulances.
		Naturally, the capacity of the legion to meet the requirements of any specific operation would depend heavily on the operation's scope, the level of hostility in the theater, and the size and capability of potential belligerent forces.
		Assuming that the legion's heaviest assets, its APCs and light tanks, weigh between 16 tons (APCs) and 25 tons (light tanks), it should be able to deploy the lead element of a brigade -- a reinforced light mechanized infantry battalion -- in approximately 100 C-141 sorties.

		On a good day with a large field and decent ground winds, Tuffy will performs dozens of parachute drops from a Kite Messenger or Ferry (see right), with the local kids running after to retrieve him, so he can do it all again.

	Battle of Harpers Ferry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		George B. McClellan, the commander of the Union Army of the Potomac, in pursuit of Lee, had wanted to add the Harpers Ferry garrison to his field army, but general-in-chief Henry W. Halleck had refused, saying that the movement would be too difficult and that Miles had to defend himself until McClellan could relieve him.
		The Battle of Harpers Ferry was fought September 12–15, 1862, as part of the Maryland Campaign of the American Civil War.
		The largest column, under Jackson, was to recross the Potomac and circle around to the west of Harpers Ferry and attack it from that direction, while the other two columns, under Generals Lafayette McLaws and John G. Walker, were to capture Maryland Heights and Loudon Heights, commanding the town from the east and south.
