29th FIS

The 29th Fighter-Interceptor Squadron (29th FIS) was a unit of the United States Air Force, originally activated during World War II in 1941. Initially, the squadron performed air defense and training roles in the continental United States, flying aircraft such as the P-47 Thunderbolt. After the war, it was reactivated during the Cold War and became an integral part of North American air defense, operating advanced jet interceptors like the F-94 and F-106 to counter potential Soviet bomber threats. The squadron was inactivated in 1968 as part of a broader realignment of air defense forces.
