The station at Shawbury was first used for military flying training in 1917 by the Royal Flying Corps. No. 29 Wing formed on 1 September 1917 with three training squadrons, No. 10 Squadron, No. 29 Squadron and No. 67 Squadron. Several different types of aircraft were operated which caused difficulties with training and maintenance. Two of the squadrons combined to form 9 Training Depot Station on 1 March 1918, the other moving to Gloucestershire. Training continued on a more organised basis until the end of the war.
