The air war in the Pacific Theater during World War II is often overlooked and over-shadowed by the
battles which took place in the skies above Europe. The U.S. Army Air Forces in Europe had the luxury
of better planes, better support and more personnel than their counterparts in the Pacific.
The saga of the Army Air Force in the Pacific was to do the most with what they had – which at times was very
little.
 Far East Air Force operated out of more than 50 different islands, flew over an area larger
than the United States, and carried the war from Australia to Japan itself, all while turning men
and aircraft around for the next mission as quickly as possible.
