In addition, other improvements were made and by the time of the Pearl Harbor Attack, Lee County Airport had grown to about 600 acres in size.

The facility returned to civil control of the State of Florida and then Lee County shortly after the end of the war.

On May 21, 1942 (while still under control of the War Department), the Lee County Commission officially named the airport Page Field.

During World War I, he was credited with three German aircraft destroyed in combat and was the recipient of the Distinguished Service Cross along with the French Croix de Guerre and other awards.

Except for commuter airlines, National was alone at FMY until, Eastern Air Lines arrived in December of 1975, a month after the new terminal opened.

Page Field is a designated FAA reliever airport for RSW and has only general aviation, military, and business traffic.

There are 21 local businesses operating at FMY, including aviation-related flight training, charter, avionics and maintenance facilities, in addition to community tenants.

Concierge front desk service, pilot lounges, weather briefing, flight planning and executive conference rooms, free Wi-Fi and a gift shop are offered at Base Operations.
