Combat Squadrons of the Air Force, World War II (USAF Historical Division, Air University, Department of the Air Force)

ix, 841 pp. Includes black-and-white illustrations. Contains histories of groups, wings, divisions, commands, and air forces. The 1,226 units covered by this volume were active between 7 December 1941 and 2 September 1945. Thus the book does not include earlier squadrons which, having been demobilized, inactivated, or disbanded prior to 7 December 1941, did not have active service during World War II; nor does it include squadrons created after 2 September 1945.
