The Sentai was formed in 1941 as the 144th Sentai and was created to intercept American bombers over Tokyo. By 1942, the Sentai was renamed to the 244th and had gained its first Kawasaki Ki-61 Hiens in 1943. The Sentai only surrendered in 1945 at the war's end. During the conflict, the sentai had first flown the Nakajima Ki-27, but was then given the far more advanced Kawasaki Ki-61 Hien and Kawasaki Ki-100 fighter aircraft.
