116th FTR INTCP SQ APO 755

The 116th Fighter-Interceptor Squadron (116th FTR INTCP SQ), associated with APO 755, has a distinguished history dating back to its formation during World War II. Initially activated as part of the United States Army Air Forces, the squadron operated various fighter aircraft to provide air defense and escort missions in the European Theater. After the war, the unit was redesignated and became integral to the Air National Guard, taking on the fighter-interceptor role during the early Cold War period. Stationed in Europe for part of its service, the 116th played a key role in continental air defense before eventual inactivation or reorganization as Air Force structure and missions evolved.
