abstract
  • Activated in mid-1942 as an operational training unit, primarily for P-47 Thunderbolts under I Fighter Command. Began replacement training in February 1944, inactivated in April when P-47 Thunderbolt training ended. Reactivated as an Air Defense Command F-86D Sabre interceptor squadron in July 1955 at Westover AFB, Massachusetts flying F-86D Sabre Interceptors, performing an air defense mission over Boston and the New England area. In 1957 began re-equipping with the North American F-86L Sabre, an improved version of the F-86D which incorporated the Semi Automatic Ground Environment, or SAGE computer-controlled direction system for intercepts. The service of the F-86L destined to be quite brief, since by the time the last F-86L conversion was delivered, the type was already being phased out in favor of supersonic interceptors. Reassigned to the Strategic Air Command Sixteenth Air Force in 1958, deployed to Morocco. Performed Air Defense over SAC B-47 Stratojet REFLEX bases. Inactivated in Morocco with SAC's withdrawal from North African bases in 1960.
