The 349th & 350th Squadrons were founded on 1942, and 1941 within Royal Air Force with Belgian staff. On June 1944, these squadrons took part to D-Day operations in Normandy conducting patrols and escorts on Spitfires.

On 2019, for the 75th anniversary of D-Day in Normandy, two F-16s from Belgian Air Force were painted with the "invasion stripes" on fuselage and wings, and the images of the Spitfires flying high above the beaches of Normandy on the tail.
