The 20th Fighter Wing is built around the 20th Operations Group, which is one of the oldest fighter groups in USAF service. The 20th was originally established in 1917 as the 20th Balloon Group, an inactive observation unit of the US Army Air Arm. After the lessons of World War I aviation, the 20th was redesignated the 20th Pursuit Group for most of the interwar period, and in World War II was again redesignated as the 20th Fighter Group. The 20th Fighter Group flew escort and ground attack missions over Europe from 1943, and after the end of the war formed the core of the 20th Fighter-Bomber Wing, which secured a new mission, flying “atomic fighters,” nuclear armed fighter jets in Europe, as the forefront of nuclear deterrent strategy. The 20th flew the bulk of the Cold War from various bases in Europe, North Africa, and Britain, returning to the US after flying sorties in the Gulf War. Since the mid-1990s the 20th Fighter Wing has flown from Shaw AFB.
