History

The 424th Reconnaissance Group (USAAF) was a home-based unit that was never fully organised, despite being officially activated on 1 April 1943. Four squadrons were allocated to the group but none of them appear to have been allocated any aircraft or given a commanding officer. The group and two of the squadrons were disbanded on 15 August 1943 and the remaining two squadrons on 1 September.
