Foreword

Like all chronologies, bibliographies, and encyclopedias, Combat Squadrons of the Air Force, World War II, serves a very special historical function. It traces the lineage of each Army Air Corps and U. S. Air Force combat squadron in World War II and afterward to 1963, the fiftieth anniversary of the 1st Aero Squadron. It is a concise official record of those units: their assignments, stations, aircraft, and decorations. But it is more than that. As an important source of ready information, this volume not only serves as a reference tool for historians and researchers; but it also provides commanders with a corporate memory of vital statistics. With these facts, a unit documents its heritage, the basis for unit esprit de corps. Originally this volume had been printed in 1969. Its worth has been proven, and the demand for it has been great. With this reprint, it will continue to serve the United States Air Force in all quarters in years to come. ’ Richard H. Kohn Chief, Office of Air Force History
