The 487th Bomb Group arrived at RAF Lavenham / Station 137 in April 1944. The group flew both the B-24 Liberator and the B-17 Flying Fortress as part of the Eighth Air Force's strategic bombing campaign and began combat in May 1944. The group tail code was a "Square-P" or "Box-P." The group returned to Drew AAF Florida during August–September 1945
