- The 515th Bombardment Squadron is an inactive United States Air Force unit. It was first formed in the Middle East in 1942 to reinforce the Royal Air Force in North Africa with personnel and aircraft diverted from delivery to the China Burma India Theater. The squadron moved forward, eventually being stationed in Italy, where it participated in the strategic bombing campaign against Germany, and was awarded three Distinguished Unit Citations for its combat actions. Following V-E Day, the squadron returned to the United States, where it converted to Boeing B-29 Superfortress bombers, but was inactivated in March 1946. The squadron was reactivated at Lockbourne Air Force Base, Ohio in 1958, when Strategic Air Command (SAC) reorganized its Boeing B-47 Stratojet wings to have four squadrons. It was inactivated on 1 January 1962, when SAC alert posture was changed and no longer fit the four squadron model. (en)
