The B-32 had been in development since before World War II, but a protracted development period delayed production versions of the aircraft until 1945. The first two B-32s arrived on <a href="/wiki/Luzon" title="Luzon">Luzon</a> on 2 May, with a third aircraft arriving the next day. </p><p>The first combat mission took place on 29 May 1945. It was a strike against a Japanese supply depot in Luzon's Cagayan Valley. All three of the Dominators were to take part, but one aborted on takeoff. The other two proceeded to the target. There was no enemy opposition, and bombing runs were made from an altitude of 10,000 feet, and both aircraft returned without incident. This raid was followed by a series of attacks on Japanese targets in the Philippines, in Formosa, and on <a href="/wiki/Hainan_Island" class="mw-redirect" title="Hainan Island">Hainan Island</a> in the <a href="/wiki/Tonkin_Gulf" class="mw-redirect" title="Tonkin Gulf">Tonkin Gulf</a>. The only opposition encountered during these missions was some rather inaccurate flak. The tests were thus deemed a success, and plans were made to convert the entire 386th Bombardment Squadron to B-32s. The 312th was scheduled to move to <a href="/wiki/Okinawa_Island" title="Okinawa Island">Okinawa</a> as soon as the conversion of the 386th BS to the B-32 was completed. </p><p>Redesignated as the 312th Bombardment Group, Heavy in July 1945, the unit moved to Okinawa in August 1945 and received six more aircraft. After the <a href="/wiki/Atomic_Bomb" class="mw-redirect" title="Atomic Bomb">Atomic Bomb</a> missions had been flown, Combat operations were flown with the B-32 in spite of the de facto cease-fire that had been called following the bombing of <a href="/wiki/Nagasaki,_Nagasaki" class="mw-redirect" title="Nagasaki, Nagasaki">Nagasaki</a>. During this time, the B-32s flew mainly photographic reconnaissance missions, most of which were unopposed. However, on 17 August a group of 4 B-32s flying over Tokyo were fired on by radar-directed flak and were attacked by Japanese fighters. The American aircraft escaped with only minor damage, claiming one confirmed fighter kill and two probables. During a reconnaissance mission over Tokyo on 18 August, two B-32s were attacked by Japanese fighters. The American gunners claimed two kills and one probable, but one aircraft was badly shot up and one of her crew was killed with two being injured. This was to prove to be the last combat action of World War II. </p><p>The last Dominator mission of the war was flown by four B-32s on 28 August in a reconnaissance mission to Tokyo. The mission was a disaster, although not because of any enemy action. 42-108544 lost an engine on takeoff and skidded off the runway. All 13 men aboard perished when the aircraft exploded and burned. On the way back from the target, 42-108528 lost power on two of its four engines. The plane's pilot ordered the crew to bail out, but two men were killed. </p><p>After VJ-Day, the surviving B-32 aircraft were ordered to return to the United States, ending the test program. The 312th remained on Okinawa until December until returning to the United States. It was inactivated on 6 January 1946. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Cold_War">Cold War</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=312th_Aeronautical_Systems_Group&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Cold War"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:F-100d-474tfwcc-cannon.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/86/F-100d-474tfwcc-cannon.jpg/220px-F-100d-474tfwcc-cannon.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="93" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/86/F-100d-474tfwcc-cannon.jpg/330px-F-100d-474tfwcc-cannon.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/86/F-100d-474tfwcc-cannon.jpg/440px-F-100d-474tfwcc-cannon.jpg 2x" data-file-width="584" data-file-height="246" /></a><figcaption>474th TFW Wing Commander's aircraft, North American F-100D-75-NA Super Sabre, AF Serial No. 56-3176</figcaption></figure> <p>The 312th trained in the <a href="/wiki/Military_reserve_force" title="Military reserve force">reserve</a> from, 1947, being redesignated as the 312th Bombardment Group (Very Heavy), and equipped with <a href="/wiki/B-29_Superfortress" class="mw-redirect" title="B-29 Superfortress">B-29 Superfortresses</a>.
