The 470th Bombardment Group is an inactive United States Air Force unit. It was last assigned to the Fourth Air Force, being stationed at Tonopah Army Airfield, Nevada. It was inactivated on 31 March 1944.
The 470th was a World War II B-24 Liberator operational training unit (OTU) initially assigned to Second Air Force. It was reassigned to Fourth Air Force in early 1944 as a replacement training unit (RTU) when 2d AF switched to B-29 Superfortress training. It was inactivated shortly afterward when the need for B-24 aircrews was diminished.
Famous quotes containing the word group:
“If the Russians have gone too far in subjecting the child and his peer group to conformity to a single set of values imposed by the adult society, perhaps we have reached the point of diminishing returns in allowing excessive autonomy and in failing to utilize the constructive potential of the peer group in developing social responsibility and consideration for others.”
—Urie Bronfenbrenner (b. 1917)
