Altus AFB: evolution of a training base

With its flat terrain, steady winds and mild winters (for the most part), Altus was an ideal location for a training troop-transport and cargo pilots. It wouldn’t be until 1943 that the first planes would take to the skies. During their training in the World War II days, pilots spent about seven weeks learning to operate the twin-engine AT-10 before moving onto bombers and cargo aircraft. (Courtesy Photo)
