West Wendover was used as a Military army-Air base from 1931-1964. at its peak about 8,000 airmen worked there. after about 1967 there where no current Military use. and it was left vacant.the town of Wendover has tried its best to keep the old base up, but due to finacial problems on the Utah side. the base has fallen into junk.
