During
WWII, over 10,000 fledgling cadet pilots learned to fly at the Eagle Field
Army Air Forces Base. For ten grueling weeks, they trained on Ryan PT-22s,
Vultee BT-13s, and Boeing PT-17s, learning the basics of combat flying.
These training sessions, and the countless stories attached to them, are
forever imbedded in the memories of thousands of WWII veterans. Many of
these veterens of WWII are currently housed at the many veterans hospitals
throughout the United States. Please do what you can to let them know you
appreciate their part in their monumental efforts which set the course of
world history that allows us to enjoy the challenges of life today.
For me, this page will be a labor of love as I search for
those stories.

We currently have about forty surviving Eagle Field students and instructors
who annually attend the Dinner Dance. Please contact us if your mother,
brother, father, sister or any of your family has had any contact with
the men who earned their first set of wings at Eagle Field or the women
who married them and/or built their aircraft.
