Morris Field Historical Marker in Charlotte, NC, commemorates a significant U.S. Army Air Corps base that operated during World War II. Originally established as a municipal airfield in the 1930s, it served as a training facility and maintenance center before being renamed in honor of Major William Colb Morris in 1942.

The facility underwent extensive expansion during the war, contributing to the local economy and providing various military units with a base of operations. After the war, it transitioned back to a municipal airport, eventually becoming Charlotte Douglas International Airport, which remains in operation today.
