774th Bomb Squadron Unit History
The 774th Bombardment Squadron (Heavy) was constituted on 19 May 1943 and activated on 1 August 1943 as one of the four squadrons of the 463rd Bombardment Group (Heavy), flying B-17 Flying Fortresses. The group moved to Celone Airfield near Foggia, Italy, in March 1944 as part of the Fifteenth Air Force and entered combat on 30 March 1944, striking marshalling yards, oil refineries, and aircraft factories across Italy, Germany, Austria, Czechoslovakia, Romania, Yugoslavia, and Greece. The 463rd earned two Distinguished Unit Citations: pressing on to bomb the Ploesti oil refineries on 18 May 1944 after the other groups turned back, and leading its wing through three enemy attacks to bomb tank factories in Berlin on 24 March 1945. The squadron inactivated in Italy on 25 September 1945.
