No. 205 Group RAF was part of the Mediterranean Allied Strategic Air Force (MASAF) alongside the US 15th AF. It was a British formation with a strong South African element.

There was a thread on the Allied Board about whether No. 205 Group was subordinated to 15th AF but it doesn't appear that it was from the contemporary documents I've seen.
