The 11th Fighter Wing is a disbanded United States Army Air Forces organization. Its last assignment was with Eighth Air Force at Drew Field, Florida. It was constituted in late 1940 and disbanded in late 1943.
The wing was constituted in late 1940 at Hamilton Field, California in the buildup of the United States Army Air Corps in response to the start of World War II in Europe.[2] It moved to Army Air Base, Portland in 1941, where it assumed responsibility for organizing two pursuit groups. It was inactivated later that year,[2] and its personnel used as part of the cadre for headquarters units of Fourth Air Force.
The wing was activated the following year at Drew Field, Florida. Although it was programmed for overseas deployment to the European theater and was assigned to Eighth Air Force, it was attached to Third Air Force for training. It was never assigned any combat groups and was inactivated before deploying overseas.[2]
In 1985 the wing was reconstituted on paper as the 367th Electronic Warfare Group,[3] but was never active before being disbanded again in 1992.
