Kobylnica Airport was built during World War II, during the German occupation. It was established by the German authorities in 1942. In 1945, the army turned Pozna\u0144 into a fortress, so heavy fighting took place over the airport and its surroundings. The Soviet army had difficulty driving the Germans out of the outskirts of Pozna\u0144. On the night of January 28-29, 1945, two Soviet regiments defeated the German defense and captured the airport.
