The 325th fighter group was first activated in August 1942 at Mitchel Field, New York.

After training at Hillsgrove Army Air Field, Rhode Island, the group moved to North Africa in 1943, where it flew combat missions with the Curtiss P-40 Warhawk, earning a Distingushed Unit Citation for actions over Sardinia for engaging a superior force of enemy aircraft and destroying more than half of them.

The group was withdrawn from combat in the fall of 1943 and re-equipped with the Republic P-47 |Thunderbolt.

After moving to Italy, the group re-entered combat, earning a second Distinguished Unit Citation in January 1944.

The group continued in combat until VE Day, returning to the United States in the fall for inactivation.
