The airfield of RAF Saltby opened in 1941 and was a satellite base for No 14 Operational Training Unit who were based at RAF Cottesmore. They operated the Hampden and Wellington bombers from Saltby and trained hundreds of bomber crew recruits. In 1943, it was handed over from the RAF to the United States IXth Air Force Troop Carrier Command and became home to the 314th Troop Carrier Group.
