32nd ftr. intcp. sq.

The 32nd Fighter Interceptor Squadron (32nd Ftr. Intcp. Sq.) was originally activated during World War II and served as a key air defense unit. Throughout its history, the squadron operated a range of fighter aircraft, including the P-39 Airacobra and later jet-powered interceptors during the Cold War era. The 32nd was notably stationed at Soesterberg Air Base in the Netherlands as part of NATO air defense, reinforcing Western Europe’s security against potential Soviet threats. The unit was inactivated in 1994, leaving a legacy of distinguished service in both wartime and peacetime air defense operations.
