The 417th Bombardment Group (Light) was activated on March 28, 1943. This group trained on the Douglas A-20 Havoc in December 1943 and January 1944 before shipping out to the South Pacific and assigned to the 5th AF. In March 1944 they began supporting ground forces on New Guinea, carrying out strikes against enemy troops, supply depots, airfields, and shipping. From September 1944 until they relocated to the Philippines in December 1944 they carried out these operations from Saidor in New Guinea against other islands in the chain. Douglas A-20G Havoc #43-9407 was named “Green Hornet” and assigned to the 675th BS / 417th BG in New Guinea from 1944-45. It was piloted by Lt. J.E. Pryor and crash landed in 1945.

The A-20 Havoc was an American light bomber, attack and night fighter aircraft operated by the USAAF and allied air forces during World War II. It was known as the Douglas Boston in Great Britain’s Royal Air Force and Royal Australian Air Force and as the DB-7 in Soviet and French Air Forces. The night fighter variant was designated P-70. The A-20 prototype was first flown in January 1939 with the first production aircraft flying on August 17, 1939. Although it was not the fastest or longest-range aircraft in its class, the A-20 Havoc/Boston/DB-7 distinguished itself as a tough and dependable combat aircraft. Production ran until September 1944, with 7,478 built in several variants (7,098 by Douglas and 380 by Boeing), almost half of which was delivered to the Soviet Union. The A-20 was retired by the U.S. Air Force in 1949.
