The Wichita Aero Commandos were an American football team that played in 1942. Located in Wichita, Kansas, the team's players consisted of employees from the Aero Parts Manufacturing Company. Many of the team's opponents were from military installations that were established during World War II, though they also played two games against National Football League franchises.
The team maintained a partnership with the Chicago Bears that turned the Commandos into a de facto farm team.[1] Former Bears player Frank Bausch served as head coach.
