75 FIS Dow AF Base Bangor Maine
U.S. Air Force
The 75th Fighter-Interceptor Squadron (75 FIS) was an Air Defense Command unit stationed at Dow Air Force Base, Bangor, Maine, during the Cold War. Activated at Dow AFB in 1955, the squadron was equipped with various interceptor aircraft, including the F-86D Sabre and later the F-101B Voodoo, to defend the northeastern United States against potential Soviet bomber attacks. The 75 FIS played a crucial role in North American air defense, standing alert for quick-response interception missions. The unit remained active at Dow AFB until it was inactivated in 1968 as part of a broader reorganization of US air defense forces.
