Biographical History
Richard Leferink learned flying during World War I. He continued his love of flying after the war, barn storming or flying cargo for businesses until he had flown in forty-one states and Mexico before he settled in Casper and began Wyoming Air Service, Inc., in 1931. Within eight years he had expanded the company, providing mail and passenger service along the Front Range of the Rockies from Pueblo, Colorado, to Billings and Great Falls, Montana; Huron, South Dakota; Scottsbluff, Nebraska, and Alberta, Canada. In 1941, Wyoming Air Service was one of seventeen domestic airlines in the United States. World War II interrupted domestic, commercial flying service. Leferink sold the company in 1944 to Western Air Lines, headquartered in Denver, Colorado.
