Langlade County Airport, History.
The facility was used by the United States Army Air Forces as a contract glider training airfield, known as Antigo Airport. Anderson Air Activities provided preliminary
glider training. The school was one of 18 private operator contract schools that ran for 90 days beginning approximately July 6, 1942. There were but a few two place
soaring gliders available for training. The Army delivered a few single engine, L type aircraft to be used. The primary training in these aircraft involved so called
"dead-stick" landings. The student and instructor
flew to various prescribed altitudes up to 5,000 feet (1,500 m) and the engine was shut off. The student then landed the plane as a glider. By September 1942
the Southeast Air Forces Training Command had been instructed to shut down the school as the shortage of gliders and single engine aircraft did not allow the school
to train and produce the number of
students required by the USAAF. Antigo Airport was closed, the Army flew the planes out and the land was returned to the local farmers.
