Craig Field is named for a Jacksonville man lost at Pearl Harbor
Jacksonville, Florida
![]()
Lieutenant Commander James E. Craig was born in Jacksonville in 1901 and was serving as damage control officer aboard the battleship Pennsylvania when Japanese aircraft attacked Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941. He was killed in the attack. The training field that opened east of the city in the 1940s was named for him, and so was a destroyer escort his widow christened. When his name was later dropped from the airport's title, public objection put it back.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
