The group came to be referred to as the Diamondbacks, due to a diamond insignia painted on the vertical stabilizer of their B-17s. </p><p>The 99th flew its first combat mission on 31 March against an enemy airdrome at Villacidro, <a href="/wiki/Sardinia" title="Sardinia">Sardinia</a>. As Allied ground forces forced the German <a href="/wiki/Afrika_Korps" title="Afrika Korps">Afrika Korps</a> to retreat into <a href="/wiki/Tunisia" title="Tunisia">Tunisia</a>, the 99th flew missions to cut off German supplies coming from Italy and <a href="/wiki/Sicily" title="Sicily">Sicily</a>. For the rest of 1943, the 99th flew missions primarily across the Mediterranean to bomb targets in Sicily and Italy. In June, news of a possible Arab uprising had the men of the 99th nervous and wearing side arms at all times. Although a major uprising never occurred, there were acts of sabotage; including a small night time German paratrooper drop over Oudna Field, Tunisia that resulted in the capture of three Germans. </p><p>Summer dust storms made life miserable. On 5 July the group bombed an airfield at Gerbini, Sicily. An estimated one hundred enemy fighters made repetitive and fierce attacks, trying to turn the 99th back. The group however penetrated enemy defenses, and destroyed the airfield. For this mission, the 99th received its first <a href="/wiki/Distinguished_Unit_Citation" class="mw-redirect" title="Distinguished Unit Citation">Distinguished Unit Citation</a>. On 9 July, the group flew missions in support of the <a href="/wiki/Operation_Husky" class="mw-redirect" title="Operation Husky">Allied invasion of Sicily</a>. The first Allied air attack on Rome took place on 14 July. Great care was taken by the 99th to avoid dropping any bombs on the <a href="/wiki/Vatican_City" title="Vatican City">Vatican City</a>. </p><p>On 1 November 1943, the four B-17 groups of the 5th Wing and two B-24 groups of the <a href="/wiki/Ninth_Air_Force" title="Ninth Air Force">Ninth Air Force</a> were combined with two fighter groups to form the new <a href="/wiki/Fifteenth_Air_Force" title="Fifteenth Air Force">Fifteenth Air Force</a>. On its first day of existence, the 15th flew a 1,600-mile round trip to bomb the <a href="/wiki/Messerschmitt" title="Messerschmitt">Messerschmitt</a> aircraft factory at <a href="/wiki/Wiener_Neustadt" title="Wiener Neustadt">Wiener Neustadt</a>, Austria. With the Allied advancement up the boot of Italy, it was decided to relocate the 5th Wing there in order to bring more Axis targets within reach of the bombers. Each group was assigned a base on the <a href="/wiki/Foggia" title="Foggia">Foggia</a> plains, the 99th being stationed at <a href="/wiki/Tortorella_Airfield" title="Tortorella Airfield">Tortorella Airfield</a>. The planes arrived at their new base in December 1943. Living conditions at Tortorella were very harsh. The summers were hot and dusty, the winters cold and wet. Buildings were few, and airplane maintenance crews worked out in the open. The men lived in tents using homemade gasoline stoves for heat. The men constantly had to struggle through mud and water, snow and ice, or choking dust, depending on the season. </p><p>Throughout 1944, the 99th bombed targets in German-occupied Italy, Germany, Austria, Greece, <a href="/wiki/Bulgaria" title="Bulgaria">Bulgaria</a>, France, <a href="/wiki/Romania" title="Romania">Romania</a>, Hungary, <a href="/wiki/Yugoslavia" title="Yugoslavia">Yugoslavia</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Czechoslovakia" title="Czechoslovakia">Czechoslovakia</a>. Two more B-17 groups, the 463rd and 483rd, would be added to the 5th Wing in March 1944. On 23 April the group bombed an aircraft factory at Weiner Neustadt, Austria. The 99th was the lead group on this mission. The flak was intense, and aggressive fighter opposition was encountered but no planes were lost. Despite the heavy opposition, the 99th made a highly successful bomb run. Thirty-one of the group's airplanes returned to base, riddled with flak and bullet holes. For this mission, the 99th received its second Distinguished Unit Citation. </p><p>During the last half of May, rumors were going around that "something big" was in the works. The rumors became fact at 2:00 am on the morning of 2 June, when it was made known that the group was going to bomb a railroad yard at <a href="/wiki/Debrecen" title="Debrecen">Debrecen</a>, Hungary, and fly on to land at <a href="/wiki/Poltava" title="Poltava">Poltava</a>, Russia in the <a href="/wiki/Ukraine" title="Ukraine">Ukraine</a>. This shuttle bombing exercise was labelled <a href="/wiki/Operation_Frantic" title="Operation Frantic">Operation Frantic</a>. At the briefing, the aircrews were told that "One hundred thirty-million Americans will look upon you today and you are their representatives in a land where you will be the first American combat men." The bombing that day was excellent, and no flak or enemy fighters were encountered. The 99th became the first task force of the USAAF to land on Russian soil. The first three days in Russia were non-operational. The men of the 99th spent their time sightseeing and making friends with the Russians. The Russian civilians cheered and saluted the "Americanyetts." On 6 June, the 99th flew a mission from Poltava, to bomb the German airfield at <a href="/wiki/Gala%C8%9Bi" title="Galați">Galați</a>, Romania. After landing back at Poltava, the men of the 99th learned that the <a href="/wiki/Operation_Overlord" title="Operation Overlord">Allies had invaded Europe on the beaches of France</a>. On 11 June, the 99th took off to bomb a German airfield at <a href="/wiki/Foc%C5%9Fani" class="mw-redirect" title="Focşani">Focşani</a>, Romania. They continued on to land back at Tortorella. The first shuttle mission to Russia was deemed to be a success. </p><p><a href="/wiki/Operation_Dragoon" title="Operation Dragoon">Operation Dragoon</a>, the invasion of Southern France, began on 15 August. The group flew missions on the 13th and 14th, destroying German gun emplacements and lines of communication near <a href="/wiki/Toulon,_France" class="mw-redirect" title="Toulon, France">Toulon, France</a>. The mission of the 15th, was in direct support of Allied invasion forces. The invasion of Southern France got little media attention because it had been overshadowed by the Normandy invasion on 6 June. </p><p>In April 1945, the 99th supported the Allied offensive in the <a href="/wiki/Po_Valley" title="Po Valley">Po Valley</a>. It flew its 395th, and last, combat mission on 26 April 1945. Heavy clouds prevented the target from being sighted so no bombs were dropped. </p><p>The group flew a total of 10,855 combat sorties in eighteen months of operation. The group was inactivated in Italy on 8 November 1945. It flew 395 combat missions; 69 aircraft were lost. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Strategic_Reconnaissance_from_1953">Strategic Reconnaissance from 1953</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=99th_Air_Base_Wing&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Strategic Reconnaissance from 1953"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:99th_Bombardment_Wing_-_B-36_-_Emblem.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/29/99th_Bombardment_Wing_-_B-36_-_Emblem.png/150px-99th_Bombardment_Wing_-_B-36_-_Emblem.png" decoding="async" width="150" height="163" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/29/99th_Bombardment_Wing_-_B-36_-_Emblem.png/225px-99th_Bombardment_Wing_-_B-36_-_Emblem.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/29/99th_Bombardment_Wing_-_B-36_-_Emblem.png 2x" data-file-width="300" data-file-height="326" /></a><figcaption>Cold War Emblem of the 99th Bombardment Wing</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:B-36_F-84F_FICON_launch.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/75/B-36_F-84F_FICON_launch.jpg/220px-B-36_F-84F_FICON_launch.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="152" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/75/B-36_F-84F_FICON_launch.jpg/330px-B-36_F-84F_FICON_launch.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/75/B-36_F-84F_FICON_launch.jpg/440px-B-36_F-84F_FICON_launch.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1723" data-file-height="1189" /></a><figcaption>FICON testing, 1952</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:F-84E_FICON.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/dd/F-84E_FICON.jpg/220px-F-84E_FICON.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="166" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/dd/F-84E_FICON.jpg/330px-F-84E_FICON.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/dd/F-84E_FICON.jpg/440px-F-84E_FICON.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1800" data-file-height="1359" /></a><figcaption>Close-up of modified FICON F-84</figcaption></figure> <p>The unit was reactivated as the <b>99th Strategic Reconnaissance Wing</b> (99th SRW) in January 1953, replacing the Pennsylvania Air National Guard's <a href="/wiki/111th_Strategic_Reconnaissance_Wing" class="mw-redirect" title="111th Strategic Reconnaissance Wing">111th Strategic Reconnaissance Wing</a> at <a href="/wiki/Fairchild_AFB" class="mw-redirect" title="Fairchild AFB">Fairchild AFB</a>, <a href="/wiki/Washington_(state)" title="Washington (state)">Washington</a>, which was activated during the <a href="/wiki/Korean_War" title="Korean War">Korean War</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The 99th SRW was assigned to the Strategic Air Command's Fifteenth Air Force, <a href="/wiki/57th_Air_Division" title="57th Air Division">57th Air Division</a>.

Its B-36s were being phased out of the inventory, and the 99th soon began receiving the new <a href="/wiki/B-52_Stratofortress" class="mw-redirect" title="B-52 Stratofortress">B-52C Stratofortress</a>. The wing flew the B-52Cs until the latter half of the 1960s when their B-52Cs were redistributed among a number of different B-52D units and operated primarily as crew trainers. The 99th was upgraded to the B-52D in 1966, while still keeping several B-52Cs until they were retired in 1971. During the <a href="/wiki/Vietnam_War" title="Vietnam War">Vietnam War</a>, the B-52Ds of the 99th were routinely deployed in rotations to combat duty in Southeast Asia, finally returning to Westover in 1973. During the Christmas 1972 "Linebacker II" bombing of Hanoi, two 99th Bombardment Wing crews were shot down, several crew members were killed in action and the remaining crew members were returned from POW status, with the exception of USAF Chief Master Sergeant Arthur Vincent McLaughlin, Jr., gunner. CMSgt McLaughlin was tail gunner on a B-52D, (tail number 56-0622, call sign "Orange 03"). His body nor any DNA has to date been recovered and he is still officially listed as UNACCOUNTED FOR/MIA, and under Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) is listed as Active Pursuit.
