Cobb is the daughter of Lt. Col. William H. Cobb and Helena Butler Stone Cobb. As a child growing up in Oklahoma, Cobb took to aviation at an early age, with her pilot father's encouragement. Cobb first flew in a plane at age twelve, in her father's open cockpit 1936 Waco biplane.〔Jerrie Cobb (“Jerrie Cobb, Solo Pilot” (Autobiography) ) jerrie-cobb.org-Solo Pilot, Accessed March 12, 2010〕 At 16, she was barnstorming around the Great Plains in a Piper J-3 Cub, dropping leaflets over little towns announcing the arrival of circuses. Sleeping under the Cub's wing at night helped scrape together money for fuel to practice her flying by giving rides. By the age of 17, while a student at Oklahoma City Classen High School, Cobb had earned her private pilot's license. She received her commercial pilots license a year later.〔 In 1948, Cobb attended Oklahoma College for Women for a year.〔("Cobb, Jerrie 2003," ) ''University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma'', Accessed April 2, 2015.〕
