 One month after the wing was activated, it was assigned to the 47th Air Division, which was activated at Walker to serve as the headquarters for the 6th and Walker's second wing, the 509th Bombardment Wing.In 1952, the 6th converted from the B-29 to the Convair B-36 Peacemaker.The Peacemaker did not require air refueling, so the 307th Squadron's attachment to the wing ended.
