339th TFS

The 339th Tactical Fighter Squadron (TFS) was originally activated during World War II as the 339th Fighter Squadron, part of the 347th Fighter Group, and saw action in the Pacific Theater flying P-38 Lightnings. After several periods of inactivation and reactivation, the squadron was redesignated as the 339th TFS and assigned to the 347th Tactical Fighter Wing during the Cold War. The unit operated a variety of aircraft, including the F-4 Phantom II, and participated in combat operations during the Vietnam War, providing air superiority and ground attack missions. The squadron was eventually inactivated in the late 1970s as part of a broader reorganization of U.S. Air Force tactical units.
