The 92d Operations Group was started in March of 1942 as the 92d Bombardment Group and by August of the same year was assigned to RAF Bovingdon in England to support World War I. Their arrival in England marked the first time a bomb group had flown non-stop across the Atlantic. After just a few missions at the end of 1942, the 92d became a training unit and was moved to RAF Alconbury in January of 1943. From there, multiple bombing missions were run all over Europe. Near the year’s end, the group moved again to RAF Podington and flew hundreds more missions, including some over Germany that earned them a Distinguished Unit Citation. The group continued to be busy throughout 1944-45 with cover support over several important invasions including Normandy, Saint-Lo, Battle of the Bulge, and the crossing of the Rhine. After training with the B-29 Superfortress bombers at Fort Worth Army Airfield, Texas, and Smoky Hill Army Airfield, Kansas, from 1946-47, the group finally settled at Fairchild AFB which was then known as Spokane Army Airfield. In support of the Korean War the 92d flew more bombing raids on crucial North Korean locations while stationed at Yokota Air Base in Japan. Before the group’s return to Spokane AAF in 1950, they lost 5 bombers. By the next year, the B-29s were replaced with B-36 Peacemakers, but the group was soon inactivated in 1952. It was not until 1991 that the 92d Bomb Group was brought back as the 92d Wing and the Operations Group was created with the BG’s lineage. The OG continues to support Operation Enduring Freedom, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and American interests overseas during the Global War on Terrorism.
