644th Bomb Sq

The 644th Bomb Squadron was an integral unit of the United States Army Air Forces, activated during World War II as part of the 410th Bombardment Group. Equipped primarily with the Douglas A-20 Havoc light bomber, the squadron participated in numerous tactical bombing missions across the European Theater, supporting Allied ground forces following the D-Day landings. The 644th played a key role in disrupting German supply lines, rail yards, and troop concentrations through precision low-level attacks. After the war, the squadron was inactivated in November 1945 as part of the general postwar drawdown of USAAF forces.
