By February 1944 the 312th had been completely re-equipped with the Douglas A-20 Havoc and for the next 10 months attacked airfields, bridges, troops and supply depots. The 312th also took part in amphibious operations on New Guinea and Palau. The 312th were nicknamed the "Roarin' 20's" as they flew the Douglas A-20 Havoc.
