Wendover Airport was a historic airfield where more heavy bomber crews were trained than at any other site, including the crews of the Enola Gay and Bock’s Car B-29 bombers that flew the atomic missions over Japan. Twenty-one heavy bomber squadrons and a P-47 fighter squadron trained there, and tens of thousands of airmen and support staff passed through the airfield during World War II on their way to destinations around the world. The Operations Building served as the control center for all flight training operations at the airfield, where flight commanders received daily flight instructions and weather briefings for each training mission. It now houses the Hall of Honor Museum and airport administration functions, while its historic role of providing aircraft radio and automated weather information for pilots continues.
