95th Bomb Group (H)

History - USAF parts

The 95th Bomb Group (H) consisted of over 8,000 service men and it flew 334 missions for the 8th Air Force.  The 95th BG flew B-17's which were deemed "Heavy" bombers.  For most of the war, the 95th BG flew out of a base in Horham, England.  The 95th BG adopted the slogan "Justice with Victory" which was represented on their official patch at that time.
