With your help pointing me in right direction, I found out that Goodland Municipal Airport also known as Renner Field provided contract glider training to the United States Army Air Forces, 1942-1943.<br /><br />Training provided by William A. Ong under AAFTC 22d Glider Training Detachment. Used primarily C-47 Skytrains and Waco CG-4 unpowered Gliders. Training began on 8 June 1942. The mission of the school was to train glider pilot students in proficiency in operation of gliders in various types of towed and soaring flight, both day and night, and in servicing of gliders in the field.<br /><br />So chances are my great-uncle William was there in some capacity with the Army Air Force.<br /><br />:) Many, many thanks!!Intense Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08441598926026727682noreply@blogger.com
