History

The airport, originally named Carr Field, was built in 1941 by the United States Army Air Forces as a pilot training airfield. Activated on 1 June 1942, the airfield was assigned to the AAF Gulf Coast Training Center, with the Army Air Force Pilot School (Bomber and Specialized 2/4-Engine) activated (phase 3 pilot training). The school's mission was to train cadets to fly transports and bombers. It was transferred to the jurisdiction of the Army Corps of Engineers on 30 June 1946. Later the facility was disposed of by the War Assets Administration (WAA) and deeded to the local government.

The airport was later renamed in honor of local Jack W. Mathis, a bombardier who received the Medal of Honor.
