3535 air training command

The 3535th Air Training Wing (later known as the 3535th Air Training Squadron/Group/Command) was established by the United States Air Force in 1949 at Greenville Air Force Base, Mississippi. Its primary mission was to conduct advanced multi-engine pilot training, supporting the growing needs of the USAF during the early Cold War period. Throughout its existence, the unit trained thousands of pilots on various aircraft types, significantly enhancing the Air Force’s operational readiness. The 3535th was inactivated in the late 1950s as part of broader reorganizations within Air Training Command, with its mission and resources being absorbed by other training units.
