Re: 8th AF B-17s/B-24s to MTO
In Nov. 1942 the 97 / 301BGs were transferred from Eighth AF to Twelfth (Algeria) then to Fifteenth 1943; the 44th/389th/93rd were temporarily sent to join the Ninth AF for the Ploesti missions.
The 885th BS (formerly 122 Liason) moved from Langley Field to Morocco in June 1944 to join MAAF.
The 859BS was assigned to a Provisional Group in Italy (Brindisi) in Dec. 1944 from the 492BG which had been withdrawn from combat to take up CARPETBAGGER operations in England. The 492nd other squadrons were re-assigned (856/857/858).
