The airfield was opened in 1942 and was used by the United States Army Air Force Eighth Air Force. Rattlesden was given USAAF designation Station 126 (RS). After the war, the field was transferred to the RAF on 10 October 1945. For a short while it was used as a Ministry of Food buffer depot but was finally inactivated on 15 August 1946. In the 1960s part of the site was used for RAF Bristol Bloodhound surface to air missiles but when this was abandoned the whole airfield was sold during 1967/68.
