Operating in the Southwest Pacific Theater, the 90th Bombardment Group played a pivotal role in critical campaigns, including the Battle of the Bismarck Sea and operations over Leyte Gulf, significantly disrupting enemy airpower and securing key Allied victories. Their daring missions and precision were symbolised by their iconic insignia—a skull and crossed bombs—which earned them the nickname
“The Best Damn Heavy Bomb Group in the World.”
The
90th Bombardment Group
, famously known as the
“Jolly Rogers”
, was a highly distinguished unit of the U.S. Army Air Forces during World War II. Activated on April 15, 1942, at Key Field in Meridian, Mississippi, the group began training with B-24 Liberator bombers under the III Bomber Command. Key Field played a crucial role in transitioning the unit from formation to combat readiness, providing the resources and infrastructure essential for their development. After completing this initial phase, the group continued training at other southeastern U.S. locations before deploying to Hawaii in September 1942. By November 1942, they had moved to the Southwest Pacific, joining the Fifth Air Force and beginning their combat operations.
