Personnel of a US Bomb Group

How many men was a 8th AF Bomb Group base comprised of - from the top brass down to the sentry, including aircrews, mechanics, cooks..?
Approximately.

Thanks.

Chris

Re: Personnel of a US Bomb Group

I have seen the bomber station total quoted as between 2,800 and 3,000 men. Unfortunately, I can't find the reference and it doesn't seem to be in Roger Freeman's Mighty Eighth War Manual.
