Today, the airfield is a civil airport named "Mathis Field", in honor of First Lieutenant Jack W. Mathis, a bombardier who received the Medal of Honor posthumously as a result of his heroic actions over Germany in 1943.

His brother, Mark Mathis was also a bombardier who had requested an assignment to the 303d Bombardment Group, at Molesworth, England; the same group as which his brother Jack was assigned.

The original airport was on a 670 acre site being developed by the Works Progress Administration (WPA).
