387TH BOMBARDMENT GROUP (MEDIUM)

556th Bombardment Squadron, Medium

BRIEF HISTORY

 Constituted as the 556th Bombardment Squadron (Medium) on November 25, 1942

 Activated on December 1, 1942.
 Redesignated the 556th Bombardment Squadron, Medium on October 9, 1944.
 Inactivated on November 12, 1945.
 For more history, see 387th Bombardment Group (Medium).
UNIT IDENTIFICATION

 Squadron designation

FW – Each aircraft was assigned a three-letter identification code of

the form FW-X, where the letters "FW" denoted the 556th
Bombardment Squadron and the third letter the individual aircraft. This identification code was painted on the both
sides of the fuselage and also used as a radio call sign.
 Squadron color

Yellow – Aircraft assigned to the squadron had their propeller tips and prop spinners painted yellow.

 Leather Patch Insignia

Squadron Commander Walter J. Ives had embroidered squadron patches made up shortly before the squadron left
for England. These patches were 5" in diameter and sewn on the left breast of the jacket. The image below was
scanned incorrectly; Major Ives was adamant that the patch was supposed to be sewn on so that the Indian is is
charging downhill at an angle of about 20 degrees.
 Aviator jacket with 556th BS shoulder patch insignia on display at the
Air Force Museum, Wright Patterson Air Force Base. The sign reads:

A fine example of "jacket art," this A-2 jacket was worn by the
donor,
a bombardier-navigator on the actual B-26 "Shootin' In" which this
Marauder is painted to represent. The patch on the front of the
jacket
is the insignia of the 556th Bomb. Sq., the unit to which the original
aircraft
was assigned.
Donated by Col. Thomas O. Rader, USAF (Ret.), Walston, Ohio

AIRCRAFT
 Martin B-26 Marauders
A total of fifty B-26 combat aircraft were assigned to the squadron during the course of the war. The squadron received its initial
complement of fourteen in the United States after it completed its training and before its departure for England. The wings of
one of these were overstressed at Langley Field before deployment [I suspect the crew picked up a replacement aircraft in the
US but am not sure - ed.]. The squadron received 35 additional aircraft during the course of the war. At war's end, the squadron's
availabiltiy list included 18 aircraft; only four of them were from the initial complement.

* Aircraft shown with two names were renamed during their service life; the names are listed in chronological order.
** Being assigned a plane meant it was yours to name and yours to fly if available. In the beginning the pilots and crews
generally did fly their own planes. However, a crew's plane was not always available: it might need repair or maintenance, or it
might have been used on a morning mission and couldn't be prepared in time for one in the afternoon. Since all flight crews did
not fly all missions, a crew whose plane was unavailable would be assigned to fly another crew's plane. As time went on
crew/aircraft pairing became more and more scrambled.
*** Does not include sorties while aircraft was assigned to other squadrons.

Engineering Section
Each of the squadron's four flights had one Flight Chief, who supervised a minimum of four Crew Chiefs and eight
Assistant Crew Chiefs. The four Flight Chiefs reported to one Line Chief, who was under the supervision of the
Engineering Officer and his assistant officer. When the group first arrived in England USAAF Technical Orders called
for the squadron to have sixteen Crew Chiefs; this was later increased to nineteen.
