Marine Aircraft Group 53 (MAG-53) was a United States Marine Corps night fighter training group that was commissioned during World War II. It was the first night-fighter group in the Marine Corps.[1] During the course of the war the group trained eight night fighting squadrons and sent seven of them into combat.[2] The group was decommissioned after the war during the post-war drawdown of forces.
