The purpose of this page is to commemorate those often unheralded but intrepid young men who fought the B-26 Marauder(medium bomber) in WWII and the B-26 Invader (light bomber) during the Korean War
The 17th Bomb Group is the only combat organization to fight all three of the Asis powers(Japan,Italy, and Germany) on three continents (Asia, Africa, and Europe). The 17th also supplied the crews who flew the the heroic Doolittle Raid against Japan in April 1942
The 452nd Bomb Wing is the only reserve combat organization to be called to active duty as a unit during the Korean War. It flew its first combat mission 77 days after being called to active duty
The 17th Bomb Wing (L) was activated to replace the 452nd when its term of service was up in May 1952. It flew one of the last if not the last missions of the Korean War.
The history of the 452nd BW and the 17th BW in Korea are so intertwined as to be inseperable.
