abstract
  • The group was activated by III Fighter Command as a fighter Operational Training Unit (OTU) during World War II with the 305th, 306th, and 312th Fighter Squadrons assigned as its operational elements. The group's mission was to train newly-trained pilots and provide combat training prior to their overseas deployment. Initially equipped with the P-39 Aircobra, later using P-47 Thunderbolts and P-51 Mustangs when they became available. In June 1943, the 312th Fighter Squadron moved to Perry Army Airfield, Florida. The group was disbanded in 1944, and its personnel, equipment and mission transferrred to 335th Army Air Force Base Unit (Replacement Training Unit, Fighter). Reconstituted as an element of Continental Air Command and redesignated as the 338th Bombardment Group, Very Heavy at Orchard Place Airport, Illinois as an Air Force Reserve B-29 Superfortress Group. However, ConAC did not have the funding nor personnel to stand up the organization and it remained an administrative organization until inactivated in June 1949.
