VIII Bomber Command of the United States Army Air Forces was established early in 1942. The first combat units arrived in the United Kingdom in June and combat operations began in July with first heavy bomber operations in August. Its bomber units were deployed in the UK, chiefly around East Anglia. From June 1943 it was the daylight bombing part of the Combined Bomber Offensive against Germany. VIII Bomber Command was redesignated as Eighth Air Force on 22 February 1944. The Eighth Army Air Force (8 AAF) was a United States Army Air Forces combat air force in the European theater of World War II (1939/411945), engaging in operations primarily in the Northern Europe area of responsibility; carrying out strategic bombing of enemy targets in France, the Low Countries, and Germany;[3] and engaging in air-to-air fighter combat against enemy aircraft until the German capitulation in May 1945. It was the largest of the deployed combat Army Air Forces in numbers of personnel, aircraft, and equipment. The 2nd AD was the 8th AF's B-24 component, consisting of 14 Consolidated Liberator Bomb Groups and associated Fighter Groups. Though the Liberator was viewed by some as inferior to the Boeing B-17, the B-24 units of the 2nd AD flew their share of hard missions and endured their portion of heavy losses. The 2nd AD story is told in this marvelous volume from Turner Publishing. The 2nd Air Division (2nd AD) is an inactive United States Air Force organization/ It started operations on 7 November 1942 as 2nd Bomb Wing and was reorganized as the 2nd Bomb Division on 13 September 1943 before its final designation as the 2nd Air Division in January 1945. The 2nd Air Division came into being following the reorganization of the VIII Bomber Command as the Eighth Air Force. It conducted strategic bombardment of Axis targets in Europe, alongside missions to airdrop supplies. Between 29 August 1944 and 2 October 1944 division aircraft dropped food to the French population in liberated areas. It also airdropped food, equipment, and supplies to Allied forces engaged in the airborne attack on the Netherlands (September 1944), as well as troops engaged in the assault across the Rhine River (March 1945). The division continued operations until the end of the war, flying the last combat sortie on 25 April 1945. The group completed 493 operational missions in Europe during World War Two consisting of 95,948 individual aircraft sorties. The 2nd Air Division operated the Consolidated B-24 Liberator aircraft from airfields in Norfolk, England. Within the 2nd Air Division, six groups received presidential citations for outstanding actions. Five airmen received the highest US award for bravery, the Medal of Honor, and four of them posthumously. A total of 1,458 B-24 aircraft were lost in action and 6,700 men lost their lives.
