The 421st Night Fighter Squadron was activated on May 1st, 1943 in Orlando, Florida flying the P-70 Havoc and deployed to Milne Bay, New Guinea later that year. The squadron quickly traded their P-70s for P-38 Lightnings before moving on to the P-61 Black Widow in June, 1944. They moved throughout New Guinea as necessary in support of Army Assault landings and eventually relocated to the Philippines in October, 1944.
