In June 1954, the USAF’s World Wide Weapons Meet now known as “William Tell” began as a separate air-to-air rocketry competition to the Third Annual USAF Fighter gunnery and Weapons Meet that was held at Las Vegas AFB (later renamed as Nellis AFB).
This Interceptor Phase of the Las Vegas based competition would be held at Yuma, AZ. The Air Defense Command and Air Training Command were the sole competitors of the first meet. In 1956, the meet was unofficially given the name of  "William Tell" and had expanded to include nine teams representing seven major air commands.
