Summary

Description
English: #OTD 28 August 1944 at Edwards - Personnel from the Seventh Air Force arrived to set up a six-week training program for replacement B-25 aircrews on their way to the Pacific Theater. The Pacific Theater Training Program was transferred from Oahu to Muroc AAF in order to reduce seaborne supply traffic, and became the Fourth Air Force's only B-25 "finishing school". As a training aid, a 650 foot wooden replica of a Japanese Atago-class heavy cruiser (soon dubbed the Muroc Maru) was constructed on the south shore of the lakebed as a target for skip-boming practice.
