abstract
  • The 87th Troop Carrier Group is an inactive United States Air Force unit. It was last assigned to the 87th Troop Carrier Wing, stationed at Atterbury Air Force Base, Indiana. It was inactivated on 1 February 1953. During World War II, the 87th Fighter Group was a First Air Force P-47 Thunderbolt replacement training unit (RTU). In the postwar era, the 87th Fighter-Escort Group was an Air Force Reserve unit equipped with P-51 Mustangs that trained with Strategic Air Command B-29 Superfortresses. Redesignated in 1952 as the 87th Troop Carrier Group, the unit remained in the reserve as a C-47 Skytrain transport unit, being activated during the Korean War, with its equipment and personnel being assigned to active duty units in Far East Air Force. The group was inactivated as a paper unit in early 1953.
