History
It was activated on 11 January 1942 as Troy Auxiliary Airfield, a satellite airfield for the United States Army Air Forces Maxwell Field near Montgomery. It was known as Maxwell AAF Aux No. 4 - Troy (aka Troy No. 5).
The airfield also conducted basic flying training throughout the war. Flying training was performed with Fairchild PT-19s as the primary trainer. It also had several PT-17 Stearmans and a few P-40 Warhawks assigned. It was transferred as inactive to the US Army Corps of Engineers on 1 April 1946 with the drawdown of AAFTC's pilot training program.
The airfield was turned over to civil control through the War Assets Administration (WAA).
