"During World War II the 2,164-acre Walla Walla Army Air Base was developed as a training base for B-17 ("The Flying Fortress") and B-24 aircraft ("The Liberator"), America's two heavy bombers. During the war years, it was estimated that more than 8,000 officers were trained in Walla Walla producing 594 heavy bomber crews. Those crews completed approximately 114,414 hours in the air while training. The base population overall was about 15,000 people."
