668 Bomb Sq

The 668th Bomb Squadron was activated in 1943 as part of the 416th Bombardment Group during World War II. Equipped with Douglas A-20 Havoc light bombers, the squadron participated in tactical bombing missions across the European Theater, including support for the Normandy invasion and the push across France. The 668th earned distinctions for its precision attacks on enemy communications and supply lines, contributing significantly to Allied ground advances. After the war, the squadron was inactivated in late 1945 as part of the postwar drawdown.
