Wendover: Military History


During World War 2, the Wendover area was a huge military training center. It was here, at Wendover Field, where many bomber crews---including that of the Enola Gay---were trained. Several buildings from the wartime era still stand, monuments to history.

Most photos were taken at or near Wendover Airfield, a commercial airport. Some were taken elsewhere. Newest uploads are at the bottom.
