U.S. 15th Air Force.

[Frank Olynyk]

David,
About the only thing I am aware of is the book by Ken Rust in his series on all the US Air Forces in WW2. There are some unit histories, and at least one book from Turner (I think). A badly neglected area.

Frank,

I'd agree with you that the 15th AF is a neglected subject.

Still, there are some very good Group histories, such as "Adorimini:the 82nd FG" or the 376th BG Group history.
There has been a very good history of the 332nd Fg published by Osprey just recently and the 52nd FG Group history that also just came out.. I think a lot of the 15th AF B-24/B-17 groups have some form of group history, but I can't afford to buy them all.

Still, through these and other readings, you can get a pretty good picture of the 15th AF

Many thanks guys. I'll start looking out for available copies of the aforementioned publications.

Here's a recent book about the 15th AF from Schiffer Publishing, the first of a planned series on the B-24s used by the 15th AF:
