The 759th Bombardment Squadron is an inactive United States Air Force unit. The squadron was organized in July 1943 as a Consolidated B-24 Liberator unit. After training in the United States, it moved to Italy, where it engaged in the strategic bombing campaign against the Axis, earning a Distinguished Unit Citation for an attack on an aircraft factory in Austria. it was inactivated after returning to the United States.
The squadron was activated in the reserve at Davis-Monthan Field, Arizona in 1947, although it is not clear if it was equipped before 1949. At that time it became a corollary of the 43d Bombardment Group, a Strategic Air Command unit flying Boeing B-29 Superfortresses. It was mobilized for the Korean War in May 1951. After its personnel were transferred to other units, it was inactivated on 16 June 1951.
