January 28, 1942 - 8th Air Force Activated The U.S. Army Air Forces activated the Eighth at Savannah, Georgia with three major subordinate units: the VIII Bomber Command (BC), the VIII Fighter Command (FC), and the VIII Ground Air Services Command (GASC). During World War II, under the leadership of such generals as Ira Eaker and Jimmy Doolittle, the VIII BC (then Eighth Air Force) formed the greatest air armada in history. By mid-1944, the unit had a total strength of more than 200,000 people, and it could send more than 2,000 four-engine bombers and 1,000 fighters on a single mission against enemy targets in Europe. For this reason, Eighth Air Force is commonly known as the "Mighty Eighth." From May 1942 to July 1945, the Eighth planned and precisely executed America's daylight strategic bombing campaign against Nazi-occupied Europe, and in doing so the organization compiled an impressive war record. That record, however, carried a high price. For instance, the Eighth suffered about half of the U.S. Army Air Force's casualties (47,483 out of 115,332), including more than 26,000 dead. #ww2 #8thAirForce #aviationhistory #usmilitary #AirWarOverEurope #TheMightyEighth

Delving into Flag Precedence, a crucial facet of military etiquette, referencing Department of the Army Pamphlet 600–60(A Guide to Protocol) offers detailed guidance for soldiers and DOD civilians. Understanding the hierarchy of flags symbolizes our commitment to order and tradition. In the words of General Douglas MacArthur, 'In no other profession are the penalties for employing untrained personnel so appalling or so irrevocable as in the military.' Let's internalize this wisdom, ensuring our commitment to excellence echoes in every detail. 🇺🇸 #MilitaryEtiquette #USArmy #FlagPrecedence #ArmyProtocol #ExecutiveServices
