James M Cox Dayton Airport Ohio.

In August 1928 a property in Vandalia, Ohio was selected to be the local airfield.

On December 17, 1936, thirty-three years to the day after the Wright brothers’ first flight, a dedication ceremony was held to officially open the airfield as the Dayton Municipal Airport Ohio.

Over the next several years, World War II played a significant role in the growth of the Dayton Airport. During the period of 1942-45, the U.S. Department of Defense acquired various real estate interests in and around the Airport for the construction of an army training airfield.

In 1952, Dayton City Commission passed a Resolution to rename the Airport the “James M. Cox, Dayton Municipal Airport.” after James Middleton Cox, a prominent Democratic Governor of Ohio.

The airport thrives to this day.


You have control.
