3d Bombardment Squadron

Starting in August 1943, groups of Navigation Cadets were assigned for training while, during the same month, six of the unit's B-17E's were ordered to Guatemala City to assist the 74th Bomb Squadron in its patrols missions from there, remaining TDY for six weeks.

In turn, the personnel who had, up to this time, been the former members of the unit moved to Anton Army Airfield and took up the designation 29th Bombardment Squadron.
