308th Tactical Fighter Squadron

The 308th Tactical Fighter Squadron was originally activated during World War II as part of the United States Army Air Forces, where it flew combat missions in the European Theater. Reactivated during the Cold War, the squadron was assigned to various U.S. Air Force bases and equipped with aircraft such as the F-100 Super Sabre and later the F-4 Phantom II. The 308th played a significant role in tactical air operations, including deployments to Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War. The unit was eventually inactivated as part of post-war drawdowns, but its legacy of combat excellence and tactical innovation remains a proud chapter in Air Force history.
