The squadron's insignia, "Oscar, the Devel's Own Grim Reaper," was painted on Capt Biddle's French SPAD XIII. The 13th departed France in February 1919 and was demobilized in March.
In October 1936, the 13th Aero Squadron was reconstituted and consolidated with the 13th Attack Squadron. They were renamed the 13th Bombardment Squadron in September 1939. During these years they flew B-12
's and B-18

Stationed in Japan after World War II, the squadron was one of the first to see action in the Korean War

When the war in Vietnam
broke out the 13th was again called into action, flying night missions with the B-57
. The squadron was noted for their DOOM Pussy patches given to crews who "Flew into the Jaws of the Cat of Death". The squadron started flying in Vietnam in May 1964 and flew 1,000 sorties in Vietnam before they were deactivated in 1968.
Less than one year later, the 13th was reactivated using B-57G aircraft. Deployed to Thailand
, the 13th again flew night intruder missions. The squadron was awarded the Presidential Unit Citation and the Air Force Outstanding Unit Award. In the force draw down after Vietnam, the 13th was again deactivated.
After many years of inactivity, the 13th was reactivated at Dyess AFB, Texas flying the Rockwell
B-1B Lancer. The squadron flew Operation Enduring Freedom missions until June 2005 when it was deactivated.
In September 2005 the squadron was again reformed flying the B-2 Spirit
