Fort Fisher, of course, a major Civil War battlefield, also played an important role some 80 years later during World War II when it was used as an anti-aircraft gun training camp. The use of planes to tow the targets resulted in the destruction of several mounds along the land face (behind the current visitors center).
For more information on the event, go to my October 13 Tattooed on Your Soul: World War II blog. Just click on the spot in the My Blogs section to the right of this to take you there.
