History

Formation in World War II

The squadron was formed at RAF Amarda Road, India on 14 January 1943, although initially it had no aircraft.[2] It moved to Allahabad in mid-March, with some of its pilots being loaned to 27 Squadron.[3] The squadron moved to Phaphamau in May where it received Beaufighter VIs and began training in long-range strike operations.[2] The squadron moved to Feni on 21 August 1943,[4] and flew its first operation, an attack by two Beaufighters against Japanese communications on the coast of Burma, on 10 September.[2] The squadron converted to rocket armament for operations in Burma and disbanded on 1 July 1945.
