MAG 32

Marine Aircraft Group 32 (MAG-32) was a United States Marine Corps aviation unit activated during World War II in February 1943. The group primarily flew the SBD Dauntless dive bomber and provided close air support and air interdiction during the Pacific campaign, notably participating in the Battle of Peleliu in 1944. MAG-32 played a crucial role in supporting ground forces, destroying enemy positions, and contributing to the eventual Allied victory in the region. After the war, the unit was deactivated in November 1945 as part of the postwar drawdown of the Marine Corps.
