"Foggia Airfield Complex" is a title based upon conjecture.
Check the behind the scenes section, the revision history and discussion page for additional comments on this article's title.
During the First World War, Josiah Rowe's grandfather was an American Army Air Corps pilot stationed in a base in Foggia, Italy. There, the Ninth Doctor was pictured in the background of a photograph taken by Josiah's grandfather of his fellow pilots, ingratiated himself with the CO, and stole a Spad XIII. (PROSE: Have You Seen This Man?)
