The 328th had been organized at Mitchell Field, New York, on 10 October 1942, and saw action in Europe. The newly designated 149th FS was assigned to the Virginia Air National Guard, which earned official recognition from the National Guard Bureau in June 1947.

—Peter B. Medawar (1915–1987)
“The whole history of civilisation is strewn with creeds and institutions which were invaluable at first, and deadly afterwards.”
