The 134th Fighter Squadron is the Vermont Air National Guard...

Here is the history, quoting from the VT ANG web site, The Green Mountain
Boys ( http://www.philippecolin.net/Gmb.html )
"The Vermont Air National Guard was organized on 1 July 1946 at Burlington
Municipal Airport and was federally recognized as the 134th Fighter Squadron
on 14 August 1946. The VT ANG was the fifth unit to be formed after World
War II (after Colorado, Nebraska, Connecticut and Wyoming). The organizers
of the 134th FS were Adjutant General Murdock Campbell; Col. Albert Cate,
Air Advisor; and Lt.Col. William M.Bowden who became the first commander of
the unit. The new unit was first located in the "Little Red-Brick School
House" near the present General Aviation hangars on Airport Drive. The
charter group numbered 27 men who were World War II veterans. The first
aircraft assigned to the unit were three AT-6 trainers, a C-47 and a L-5. In
April 1947, three P-47 'Thunderbolt', the first of 25 such airplanes for the
unit, landed in Burlington. At this time, the Vermont Air National Guard
comprised 150 officers and enlisted men. Its primary mission was air defense
with a secondary mission of ground attack."

It's possible that my BC-191 never participated in WW2 but was issued from
storage to the VT ANG...
