Who is Dale Mabry and why does he get a road? Interestingly enough, he was an airship pilot and captain in the United States Army. Captain Mabry died piloting the Army airship Roma, a dirigible he was testing, when it crashed in Norfolk, Virginia on February 21, 1922. The event marked the greatest disaster in American aeronautics up to that time. Dale Mabry Highway in Tampa, Florida is named for him. It was initially constructed to connect MacDill Air Force Base with Drew Field Municipal Airport. It is a major roadway through Hillsborough County. Landmarks on his road include Hillsborough Community College, Raymond James Stadium, and George M. Steinbrenner Field.
