This web site has been setup to honor all the men
of the 307th Bombardment Group (and 307th Bomb Wing from Korea) for
their valiant service to their country during World War II from April
1942 to January 1946. The 307th Bomb Group (H) completed 625 Missions
in the Pacific Theater, participated in 11 Campaigns and received 2
Distinguished Unit Citations.
The 307th Bomb Group was part of the 13th Air Force and
consisted of the 370th, 371st, 372nd, and 424th Squadrons.
The group became known as the "The Long Rangers" due to their multiple,
record-setting distance flown for their combat missions which included:
Wake, Rabaul, Truk, Yap, Palau, Balikpapan, Borneo, (the Ploesti of the
east) and the Philippines.
Many of the missions were over 17 hour
unescorted round-trips over vast expanses of the Pacific Ocean. This site has been created to preserve and document the
history of the 307th Bomb Group.
