W. Feit [1], N. Itô [2] and M. Suzuki [3] have determined all doubly transitive groups with the property that only the identity fixes three symbols. It is of interest to the theory of projective planes to determine whether any of these groups contain a sharply doubly transitive subset (see Definition 1). It is found that if such a group G contains such a subset R then R is a normal subgroup of G, i.e. R is a doubly transitive normal subgroup of G in which only the identity fixes two symbols.
