The 65th Bomb Squadron, 43rd Bomb Group flew B-17 Flying Fortresses out of Australia in 1942. In 1943 they were based in New Guinea and flew B-24 Liberators. After the war ended they were based at Yakota Air Base in Japan and were issued new B-50 Superfortress Bombers in 1948. These were upgraded versions of the B-29 Superfortress.
