Construction
President Manuel L. Quezon authorized the construction of Dipolog Airport in 1936. A 500m macadam runway was completed in 1937 with then-Vice President Sergio Osmeña inaugurating the airport onboard a Douglas DC-2 of the Philippine Army Air Corps (PAAC). The original terminal was made of composite wood material located at the northern side of the runway near the Philippine Constabulary Camp, now Camp Hamac in Sicayab.

Japanese Usage
Occupied by the Japanese and used until early 1945. During late 1944, the airfield was attacked by American aircraft and largely neutralized.

Liberation
A week before the first Army landing, two Marine officers and six enlisted Marines were inserted behind Japanese lines. They were taken to the guerrilla-held airstrip near the town of Dipolog. Captured at the airfield was a Japanese L2D Tabby and a G4M3 Betty Tail 61-20.

American Usage
Within a few days, 16 Corsairs were there on the primitive Dipolog Field to support the guerrillas, as well as cover the landing of the 41st Infantry Division at Zamboanga on D-day, March 10, 1945. Used by USMC Marine Air Groups 12 and 32 in March 1945, to support operations in southern Mindanao and as an emergency airfield.

American Units based at Dipolog
