Assignment[edit]

This unit couldnt be assigned to IV Bomber Command till 1945, as this command has been disbanded on March 1944 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IV_Bomber_Command — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.158.148.22 (talk) 13:49, 14 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Removed. Apparently an editor assumed that if it was on the west coast it was in Fourth Air Force. --Lineagegeek (talk) 15:52, 19 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
