HISTORIC WENDOVER AIRFIELD INC

SANDY, UT

Historic Wendover Airfield Inc is a non-profit organization based in Sandy, Utah, dedicated to preserving the history of the Wendover Airfield, a former military airfield located in Wendover, Nevada. The airfield was originally built in 1940 for the United States Army Air Corps and was used as a training base during World War II. It was also the site of the Enola Gay's final training mission before dropping the atomic bomb on Hiroshima.

After the war, the airfield was used as a storage facility for surplus military equipment and was eventually decommissioned in 1969. In 1994, a group of aviation enthusiasts founded Historic Wendover Airfield Inc to preserve the airfield's history and educate the public about its significance.

Today, the organization operates a museum on the airfield, which houses exhibits on the airfield's history, as well as a collection of aircraft from the World War II era. The airfield also hosts events throughout the year, including airshows and reenactments.

Historic Wendover Airfield Inc is committed to preserving the airfield's history and honoring the brave men and women who served there. Through its exhibits and events, the organization provides a glimpse into the past and pays tribute to the sacrifices made during World War II.
