The 55th Aeromedical Airlift Squadron is an inactive United States Air Force unit. It was first activated during World War II as the 55th Ferrying Squadron. It deployed to Canada and managed a station on the ALSIB ferrying route.
The squadron was reconstituted in July 1952 as the 55th Air Transport Squadron. It flew strategic airlift missions from Kelly Air Force Base, Texas, then from Travis Air Force Base, California until inactivating in 1960 when its Boeing C-97 Stratofreighters were retired.
It was activated again in Germany early in 1966 as the 55th Military Airlift Squadron. After assuming the primary role of aeromedical evacuation, it was redesignated the 55th Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron and remained the primary aeromedical airlift unit in Europe until inactivating in 1993.
