During World War II, it was a training base for bomber crews before being deployed to the European and Pacific Theaters. Also, it was the training site of the 509th Composite Group, the B-29 unit which dropped the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bombs. After the war, Wendover served as a gunnery range and research facility. It was closed by the USAF in 1969, however the base was used sporadically until 1986.
