Offutt Air Force Base was named in honor of World War I pilot and Omaha native 1st Lt. Jarvis Offutt. Offutt's legacy includes the construction of the first two bombers to drop atomic bombs and over 40 years as the headquarters for the former Strategic Air Command (SAC) and home for its associated ground and aerial command centers for the U.S. in case of nuclear war during the Cold War.
