51st FW traces its legacy to the Jan. 15, 1941 activation of the 51st Pursuit Group (later Fighter Group) at Hamilton Field, Sacramento, Calif. One of the first fighter groups to enter action in World War II after the attack on Pearl Harbor, the 51st FG deployed to India and China where it served with distinction in more than three years of combat against Japanese forces. Briefly inactivated after WW II, the 51st FG activated at Naha Air Force Base, Okinawa, on Oct. 15, 1946, under the 301st FW. The 301st had a post-war mission to defend the Ryukyu Islands against air attack.
