The 7th Bombardment Group was one of the few bombardment groups in
the Army Air Corps active during the 1930s. From its activation in
1929 to the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Group flew all major types
of Army Air Corps bombardment aircraft and participated in numerous
exercises and annual maneuvers, helping to perfect the tactics of
daylight precision bombing. During World War II, the 7th Bomb Group
carried out strategic bombing operations in a theater of war far
different from what the pre-war doctrine had envisioned. Units of
the Group were present at the attack on Pearl Harbor and were still
flying combat missions at the very end of the war, making the Group
one of the longest serving combat units of the Army Air Force.
Flying B-17 Flying Fortresses out of Java in the desperate early
days of 1942, the Group moved to India to become part of the Tenth
Air Force. Beginning combat operations in April 1942, the 7th Bomb
Group converted to the B-24 Liberator and continued to fly missions
over Burma and Thailand until August 1945. This book provides a
description of the little-known strategic bombing operations of the
Tenth Air Force in the China-Burma-India Theater.
