The Aero Club of Dayton, Ohio, was founded no later than July 1909. The club had a headquarters and newly inaugurated aviation grounds and sheds had been obtained near the city. A merger with the International Aeroplane Club of Dayton (IACD) was anticipated in the first half of 1911 and it appears that at that time the IACD was extinguished.

60 members in 1910. The association was one of the 10 to 12 founders of the American Aeronautical Federation, 22 June 1910. Exhibited at the local automobile show, February 1911. The Aero Club of Dayton was invited to enter a balloon in the August 1910 Harvard-Boston meet.
