During it's glorious career the Twenty-Seventh flew 6,805 missions over the worse terrain in the World, in the most vicious weather Mother Nature could dream up. On many occasions, personnel of the squadron served in the middle of battle as liaison with Allied ground forces. The Twenty-Seventh Troop Carrier Squadron received 25 commendations from Theater Command, as well as from Washington, D.C., Great Britain and Nationalist China. The personnel of the squadron are some of the most recognized of the war, receiving 1,271 decorations.

No USAAF unit gave more of itself to preserve freedom forever and a day
