The 509th Bomb Wing

The pilots were from the 509th Bomb Wing.

Is this the name of the troop?

Thanks

Pretty much. "Squadron" might be more appropriate. I'd have to look it up to see where it fits in the organizational plan.

Hi,

The pilots were from the 509th Bomb Wing.

Is this the name of the troop? Basically, yes. I would expect 'Bomber Wing'.

Hi,

Traditionally, at least in British terminology, a wing includes several squadrons, and a group include several wings.

Hi LiJ,


Google says,

The 509th Bomb Wing traces its historical roots to its World War II ancestor, the 509th Composite Group, a unit formed with one mission in mind: to drop the atomic bomb.

Sorry, man - A.

Edit. Now stationed at Whitman AFB in Missouri They fly B2's
