#900 on High number Temporary APO 3300 cover
315^th Troop Carrier Group

315^th Troop Carrier Group (APO 3300) on Greenland - Nov. 1942

Constituted as 315th Transport Group on 2 Feb 1942. Redesignated 315th Troop Carrier Group in Jul 1942. Trained for combat operations with C-47's and C-53's. Departed the US, Oct-Nov 1942, for assignment to Eighth AF in England.
Encountering bad weather while flying the North Atlantic route, the air echelon was detained for about a month in Greenland, where it searched for missing aircraft along the east coast and dropped supplies to crews.
After the air and ground echelons were united in Aldermaston, England in Dec 1942, the group began ferrying cargo in the British Isles and training with airborne troops and gliders.
