Perry AAF was a replacement training unit, hosting the 312th and 441st Fighter Squadrons. Pilots received their final training in P-40 Warhawks, P-47 Thunderbolts, and P-51 Mustangs at Perry AAF prior to joining operational units in the European or Pacific theaters. With the close of hostilities, the last military pilots left Perry AAF in September 1945.
