William Clent Breedlove was a pioneer South Plains aviator who was
born in 1900 in Wolfe City, Texas. As manager of the Lubbock Municipal Airport
from 1930-1940 and as a pilot, he stimulated interest in South Plains aviation.
As an Army Air Corps pilot, Breedlove participated in General Billy Mitchell's
battleship bombing test in 1921. In the 1930s, he taught in the civilian pilot
training program, a precursor to the war training service, during World War II.
On December 20, 1941, Breedlove moved his aerial service to his commercial
airport southwest of Lubbock, Texas. From there, he carried on a glider
training program, and operated related training programs at Plainview and
Lamesa, Texas. Breedlove retired in 1947 and died in 1953.
