What FG or FS was based on Ascension Island in 1943?

Hi all,

Have been trying to ascertain the identity of the unit which flew P-39s out of Wideawake Field on Ascension in 1943. Was an entire fighter group based there? A single squadron? Have seen a single shot of of P-39s lined up there, but unable to make out the symbol/emblem just beneath the cockpit. Doesn't appear to be any squadron group markings on the planes in the shot, just the serial and that hard to see emblem/logo beneath the cockpit.

Any guidance greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
