The 435th AGOW and 435th AEW celebrate 75th anniversary

by Jeffrey McGovern, PhD
435th Air Ground Operations Wing and 435th Air Expeditionary Wing historian

Seventy-five years ago this month the U.S. Army Air Forces activated the 435th Troop Carrier Group at Bowman Field, Kentucky. When the Airmen of the 435th and four assigned troop carrier squadrons — the 75th, 76th, 77th and 78th — assembled for the first time February 25, 1943, they unknowingly began an odyssey that continues to reverberate today.
