The 341st Bombardment Group was activated on 15 September 1942 as a medium bombardment group equipped with the B-25 Mitchell. It entered the front line early in 1943, operating against Japanese ground targets in central Burma.
In January 1944 the group was transferred to the Fourteenth Air Force, based in China. There it concentrated on anti-shipping strikes (without the 490th squadron), at sea and on China's inland waterways. It also attacked ground targets in Canton and in French Indochina. The group received a DUC for developing a bombing technique for use against bridges.
