The 714th Bombardment Squadron is an inactive United States Air Force unit. It was last assigned to the 448th Bombardment Group at Long Beach Municipal Airport, California, where it was inactivated on 21 March 1951.
The squadron was first activated during World War II. After training in the United States, it deployed to the European Theater of Operations, and served in the strategic bombing campaign against Germany with the 448th Bombardment Group. After V-E Day, the squadron returned to the United States, where it converted to the Boeing B-29 Superfortress. It was inactivated in August 1946 and replaced by another unit. The squadron was active in the reserve from 1947 until 1951, when it was mobilized for the Korean War and inactivated after its personnel were used to man other units.
