The 828th Bombardment Squadron, from the United States, was only active for one year.
The squadron entered combat in May 1944, and primarily flew long range strategic bombing missions against targets in Italy, France, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Romania, and Yugoslavia, bombing marshalling yards, oil refineries, airfields, heavy industry, and other strategic objectives. In August 1946, the squadron was inactivated and its mission, personnel and B-29s were transferred to the 341st Bombardment Squadron, which was simultaneously activated at Smoky Hill.
