7th Bombardment Group 1940–1947 (World War II) The 7th Bombardment Group, originally constituted in 1918, was activated for World War II service on 1 February 1940. Initially stationed at Hamilton Field, California, the group was equipped with B-17 Flying Fortresses and B-24 Liberators. Following the attack on Pearl Harbor, elements of the group were deployed to the Pacific, with some aircraft and personnel diverted to Java in early 1942 to help stem the Japanese advance. The group later operated from bases in India as part of the Tenth Air Force, conducting strategic bombing missions against Japanese targets in Burma, Thailand, and the Andaman Islands. The 7th Bombardment Group participated in campaigns including the India-Burma and Central Burma operations. After the war, the group was inactivated on 6 January 1946 in India.
