Children of Robins Air Force Base General to visit | News
The children of Gen. Augustine Warner Robins will be in town Monday to see the base and community named after their grandfather.
Gen. Charles E. Thomas urged local town leaders to rename the town after his former aide, who had worked for him between 1921 and 1927.
Thomas renamed the depot Warner Robins Army Air Depot and the base runway Robins Field. Local leaders immediately changed the name to Robins Air Force Base.
