3rd Bombardment Group 1940–1947 (World War II) The 3rd Bombardment Group, originally constituted as the 3rd Attack Group in 1919, was redesignated as the 3rd Bombardment Group (Light) in 1939. During World War II, the group was equipped with A-20 Havoc and later B-25 Mitchell aircraft. It was among the first U.S. Army Air Forces units to deploy to the Pacific Theater following the attack on Pearl Harbor. The group participated in major campaigns in New Guinea, the Philippines, and the Western Pacific, earning a distinguished reputation for its low-level attack missions and innovative tactics. The 3rd Bombardment Group played a significant role in the Battle of the Bismarck Sea and other key operations, contributing to the Allied advance across the Southwest Pacific. The group was inactivated in Japan on 25 March 1946 following the end of hostilities.
