Welcome to Wings Over San Antonio, a book about the aviation history of this great city!San Antonio has been blessed with a rich and varied aviation heritage, and this book celebrates that history with beautiful photos and fascinating stories.

We begin with the early days of aviation in San Antonio, when daring pilots took to the skies in flimsy airplanes, entertaining crowds at county fairs and airshows. These early pioneers laid the foundation for the vibrant aviation community that we enjoy today.

We then take a look at how military aviation has played a role in San Antonio’s history, from the first training camp for World War I pilots at Kelly Field, to the present-day Lackland Air Force Base. Aviation has always been an important part of our city’s identity.

And of course, we can’t forget about commercial aviation! We’ll explore how San Antonio International Airport has grown from a small regional airport to one of the busiest airports in the country. We’ll also take a look at some of the airlines that have called San Antonio home over the years.
