Formed as the 325th Fighter Group on 24 June 1942. the new group was activated on 20 July under general order number 50 issued by 1st Aii Force headquarters. Fastern Defense Command With activation life ing place on 3 August 1942. Officers and enlisted men were detached from the 79th Fighter Group under the command of Major Leonard C. Lydon to form the nucleus of the new fighter group. The group headquarters and 317th Squadron were based at Theodore Green Field. Hillsgrove. Rhode Island, the 318th was sent to Grenier Field. Manchester. New Hampshire and the 319th deployed to Renschler Field. Hartford. Connecticut. Additional personnel was drawn from various service schools. Officer Candidate Schools, replacement pools and inductees who had completed basic training. Some of the new officers from OCS were given intensified courses in chemical warfare, camouflage, intelligence, and other specialist areas. Enlisted men attended lectures, viewed training films, drilled and received on the job training in their new assignments. Pilots practiced formation flying, acrobatics, navigation, instrument flying and aerial gunnery. The activities of the 319th Squadron during this period may be cited as more or less typical. Initially, the squadron consisted of 178 enlisted men under the command of Captain Lawrence E. Oldham, who was the only officer attached to the 3I9lh at the time. Major Robert I. Baseler arrived on 26 August to assume command as pilots began to trickle in to the 319th. Bob Baseler was a tall, gangling, soft spoken redhead, an easy going individual with a keen sense of humor. He had earned his wings at Kelly Field. Texas on 1 February 1939. His first duty was as a pursuit pilot with the 94th Pursuit Squadron, the famed Hat-In-The-Ring squadron of WW I fame, which was flying P-35s and P-36s at that time. One of the best pilots in the squadron was Neel E. Kearby and Bob got to know and admire him. He asked Neel to help him perfect his dogfight fighting techniques and Neel agreed, but to make it interesting suggested that a wager be made on the outcome of each session. Bob paid off on a fairly regular basis the first month and then began to hold his own but he never did win back all of the money he lost. He always considered it as money well spent. Later in the war Neel Kearby. who became commanding officer of the 348th Fighter Group in the Pacific theater, was awarded the Medal Of Honor and had accounted for twenty-two enemy aircraft destroyed before losing his life in combat. |

By June 1943 the U.S. 8th Air Force daylight bombing offensive from Britain had passed through a full nine months of "experimentation". In its initial stages, targets had been limited mainly to targets in France and the Low Countries with occasional stabs at points close to or just inside the German borders. A prevailing lack of long-range escort fighters was a factor in restricting operations although the proponents of the "self-defending" bomber formation in which the heavy armament of the B-17 Fortresses and B-24 Liberators would suffice to see them to and from targets with acceptable loss ratios, were still confident of success. Their enthusiasm must have been tempered by the 17 April mission when 16 out of 115 B-17s were Missing in Action (MIA), but only a sustained period of operations under non-escort conditions would settle the issue for better or worse. April and May of 1943 had seen the arrival in Britain of six more B-17 Groups with three forming the basis of a new 4th wing (soon to be known as the 3rd Bomb Division) and three joining the existing 1st wing. One of the latter trio was the 381st BG. Assignment to the 8th Air Force represented the culmination of very hard training by all ranks of the Group from Colonel to cook, aircraft commander to clerk. Working up in the cold arid plains of Pyote, Texas and then finishing at Pueblo, Colorado, a high standard of aerial and ground efficiency was achieved in which no aircraft were lost and only one fatal casualty was incurred. The 381st BG was commanded by COL Joseph J. Nazzaro with LCOL Leland Fiegel as Deputy CO and MAJ Conway S. Hall as Group Ops Officer; a trio of men bringing the respective qualities of tactician, pilot ability and combat experience to form a bedrock which was to stand the Group in good stead in combat. This cadre of officers arrived with forward ground echelons in January at Pyote and the first handful of B-17s flew in on the 9th. Ground training initially took priority over flying with personnel having to come to terms with crowded quarters, limited facilities and the weather. Pyote's high winds were so frequent that unshackled buildings were liable to prompt destruction and sand was a constant hazard to living conditions and maintenance of aircraft. The Fortresses were generally readied for flight between 1200 and 1600 hours when dust storms tended to make their presence felt with 40 mph gusts throwing a screen up to 2,000 feet and then waning as fast as they had waxed. Sending the B-17s aloft had the beneficial effect of allaying the worst sand-blast effects on their sensitive engines. Rain was so rare that local legend told of one Pyote citizen who. when hit by a raindrop, had to be revived by having a bucket of sand thrown over him. |

In the immediate post war years the United States Navy was dominated by problems of demobilization, an uneasy international situation, and a re-organization. Demobilization was rapid with the number of aircraft carriers in service reduced from 109 in 1945 to twenty-five a year later, and by the middle of 1950 to nine. The unsettled international situation in vastly separated areas of the world resulted in the formation of Carrier Task Groups to operate in the North Atlantic, Mediterranean and the Western Pacific, providing tangible evidence of America's presence and support for their Allies and the Free World. The first of the international crises was quick in coming as President Truman dispatched US Naval forces to Turkey in March of 1946, responding to a massive build-up of Soviet forces along the Turkish border. The next major US foreign policy test came when French, British, and American air forces provided a massive airlift into the city of Berlin, breaking the Soviet surface blockade of the former German capitol. In some respects this period was almost a repeat of the post World War I twenties. Political clamoring for both a separate air force and a merger of all the military services, was satisfied, to a greater or lesser degree, with the creation of the Department of Defense (DOD) in 1947, which combined the three services (the Air Force, Army and Navy) under a single Secretary of Defense. In the Fleet itself, the main problems were the transition to a severely lower force level, the incorporation of World War II combat experience, and the introduction of new weapons and technology. Jet aircraft, guided missiles and nuclear weapons, all required great adjustments in plans, organization and tactic. |
