OverviewPlease note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Hondo Air Base is an inactive United States Air Force base, approximately 2 miles west-northwest of Hondo, Texas. It was active during World War II and during the early years of the Cold War as a training airfield. It was closed on 31 October 1958, although the civilian airport was used as a pilot screening facility by the Air Force from 1973 to 2000.In 1940 the need by the United States Army Air Corps for trained aircraft navigators was urgent. Schools run by Pan American Airways in Miami, Florida and by the Air Corps at Barksdale Field, Louisiana and Kelly Field, Texas, and by the time of the Pearl Harbor Attack in December 1941 had reached 2,500. However with the planned large numbers of transports and bombers gearing up on the production lines of manufacturers around the country, the number being graduated was woefully inadequate.
