Eighth Air Force

The U.S. Army Air Forces' Eighth Air Force, known as the "Mighty Eighth," was a major air armada that conducted daylight bombing campaigns against Nazi-occupied Europe and Germany during World War II, acting as a vital partner to the RAF's night bombing missions. Activated as the VIII Bomber Command in early 1942 and redesignated Eighth Air Force in 1944, it became the largest combat air force in history, suffering significant casualties but also earning a formidable reputation for its strategic bombing and air-to-air combat operations.
