A Short History
of The 93rd.
"The 93rd Bomb Group was
formed in 1942 at Barksdale Field, Louisiana with core
personnel from the 44th Bomb Group. After training at
Barksdale, the group moved to Ft. Myers, Florida, where
it continued training and flew anti-submarine patrols
over the Gulf of Mexico. They were credited with 3 U-Boats.
After three months, the group moved to Grenier Field,
New Hampshire and prepared to move overseas. They arrived
in England in late September 1942, ground personnel traveling
on the Queen Elizabeth, and flew the first B-24 combat
mission from England on October 9, 1942."
