History
The 415th Bombardment Group was activated during World War II as a Third Air Force training and demonstration unit as part of the Army Air Force School of Applied Tactics. It was equipped with A-20s, A-24s, A-26s, B-25s, and P-39s. The group was reassigned to Second Air Force in early 1944 as a B-17 Flying Fortress replacement training unit. It was inactivated in early 1944 when the need for B-17 aircrews diminished.[1]
The 415th was reconstituted in inactive status as the 415th Tactical Missile Wing on 31 July 1985.[2]
