Bombardment Groups

Bombardment Groups were formations used during World War II by the United States Army Air Forces. They consisted of multiple aircraft flying together to conduct strategic bombing missions against enemy targets. The groups maximized the efficiency and effectiveness of bombing runs, ensuring protection and delivering a considerable amount of firepower. Each group typically included various squadrons, supporting roles like reconnaissance, and specialized aircraft designed for cargo or escort. Their coordinated efforts aimed to cripple enemy infrastructure and military capabilities, contributing significantly to the Allied air campaign in Europe and the Pacific.
