Bombardment Groups were units in the United States Army Air Forces during World War II, primarily responsible for strategic bombing missions. These groups typically consisted of several squadrons equipped with heavy bombers, such as the B-17 Flying Fortress and B-29 Superfortress. Their main objective was to destroy enemy infrastructure, military targets, and industrial sites to weaken the enemy's war effort. Each Bombardment Group operated under a specific command structure and was trained to conduct coordinated bombing raids. They played a crucial role in campaigns over Europe and the Pacific, contributing significantly to the overall success of Allied operations during the war.
