Dobbins’ history spans back about eight decades. In
the late 1930s, the future Dobbins Air Reserve Base was
built as Rickenbacker Field, intended to be a commercial
airport. Its namesake, World War I flying ace Eddie
Rickenbacker, had been head of Atlanta-based Eastern
Airlines at the time.
On Feb. 19, 1942, the U.S. War Department selected
Marietta for the site of the Bell Bomber plant. Paid for
by the War Department, it was built directly adjacent to
the airfield. In March of that year, construction began to
convert Rickenbacker into the Marietta Army Airfield, and
it was completed in June of the following year.
The name Dobbins came from a Word War II pilot, Capt.
Charles Dobbins of Marietta, who was killed when his
C-47 aircraft was shot down over the Mediterranean Sea.
The base was named after him in 1950.
The base became Dobbins Air Reserve Base in June of 1992.
