- The 814th Troop Carrier Squadron is an inactive United States Air Force unit. Its last assignment was with 482d Troop Carrier Group stationed at Miami International Airport, Florida. During World War II, the squadron was activated in England as the 814th Bombardment Squadron (Pathfinder). Its Consolidated B-24 Liberator aircraft were equipped with first generation radars to guide other bombardment units to _targets obscured by cloud cover over Occupied Europe and Nazi Germany, earning a Distinguished Unit Citation in January 1944. In March 1944, it was removed from combat to focus on training pathfinder aircrews and develop tactics, although its developmental work occasionally required it to fly combat missions. After V-E Day, the squadron returned to the United States and was inactivated. The squadron became a reserve organization, serving as a bombardment unit from 1947 to 1949 and briefly as an airlift unit in 1952. (en)
