In the build-up of the Army prior to the United States' entry into World War II and the establishment of the United States Army Air Forces, the 73d Observation Group was established at the airfield in November 1941, assigned to First Air Force. The 73d's mission was to train and provide tactical reconnaissance in support of Army maneuvers.After the United States entered World War II, Godman AAF became a First Air Force group training station for B-25 Mitchell medium bomber groups. The 387th and 391st Bombardment Groups formed and trained at Godman in 1943 prior to their overseas deployment.
