765th Bombardment Squadron emblem (World War II)[2]
Military unit
The 765th Bombardment Squadron is an inactive United States Air Force unit. The squadron was first activated during World War II. After training in the United States, it deployed to the Mediterranean Theater of Operations, where it participated in the strategic bombing campaign against Germany, and earned two Distinguished Unit Citations for its actions. Following V-E Day, the squadron returned to the United States, where it was inactivated in August 1945.
The squadron was reactivated at Hill Air Force Base, Utah under Tactical Air Command (TAC) in late 1953, soon becoming one of TAC's first jet bomber squadrons. It moved to Blytheville Air Force Base, Arkansas in 1956 and was inactivated there in January 1958, when Blytheville became a Strategic Air Command (SAC) base.
