World War II
In 1942, the Royal Air Force Eagle Squadrons were turned over to the United States Army Air Forces, with No. 121 Squadron being constituted as the 335th Fighter Squadron on 22 August, activated on 12 September and the same day assigned to the 4th Fighter Group of the VIII Fighter Command. Coming into USAAF service, the squadron was re-equipped with P-47 Thunderbolts and later P-51 Mustangs. They destroyed 262 enemy aircraft – 165 in the air and 97 on the ground.
They remained with the Group until they were returned to the United States and inactivated at Camp Kilmer, New Jersey on 10 November 1945.Korea
After less than a year, the 335th was reactivated on 9 September 1946 at Selfridge Field, Michigan, and has remained on active duty since. It is with pride and honor that we take this opportunity to honor the men and women of the 335th fighter squadron. May our veterans never be forgotten !
Sincerely yours and good hunting ! Veteran Sgt. Radmo United States Army.
