Historic Wendover Airfield
This is a very significant US Army Air Corps airfield that we stumbled across on our recent RV trip. Were it not for one tiny sign on the main drag of Wendover, UT/NV, literally on the state line, I would have missed this entirely. I recognized the old US Army Air Corps star and the 509th Bombardment Group and went to investigate.
Wendover airfield is where aerial gunners, like tail, waist and turret gunners, were trained. Over 1,000 aircrews were trained here too. It was once a large base with many activities. Most notably perhaps, Wendover was the home base B29 heavy bombers and was the staging and training base for the Enola Gay and Bock's Car, the two B29's that dropped atomic weapons on Nagasaki and Hiroshima, forcing the unconditional surrender of Japan to end WWII.
I picked up this video from the gift shop. It's the same video that is shown in the museum when you visit Wendover. They seem to have been forgotten and it would be such a shame to see as significant contributor to the success of WWII as Wendover disappear. Please help spread the word about this little gem out in the desert so it can be preserved for future generations.

Wendover is a resort town of about 6,700 people (2012) straddling the border that divides the American states of Utah and Nevada, 120 miles due west of Salt Lake City. The location on the state border makes Wendover the nearest legalized gambling for millions of people, which has led to the construction of large, extravagant casino resorts despite the town being otherwise very small and remote. This, in turn, has made Wendover sort of a quieter, more laid-back alternative to Las Vegas even for those who don't live in the region. Wendover is also the destination of choice for those attending land speed racing events at Bonneville Speedway, just east of town on the Bonneville Salt Flats!
