415th Bomb Squadron

The 415th Bomb Squadron was first activated during World War II, serving as part of the 98th Bombardment Group. Flying B-24 Liberators, the squadron participated in key campaigns across the Mediterranean Theater, including missions in North Africa, Italy, and the Balkans. After distinguished service and earning multiple commendations, the unit was inactivated following the war’s end. Over the decades, the 415th has been reactivated and redesignated several times, reflecting changes in U.S. Air Force organizational structure and mission requirements.
