HQ IX TAC in France on August 14, 1944

[Jaap Woortman]

Ivo,

I took the liberty to send your question to Piet Truren.
I knew he has done research about this subject.
He gave me the following answer.
For more information you can contact him.

Jaap

First I thought I could find the answer very quickly, but I had to dig in my files till
I had found the piece of paper with the required information I have used for my
article about MEW-radar.

IX TAC had to support US 3rd Army of Bradley at that time.

At August 12th, 1944, HQ 9 TAC arrived at Coulouvray-Boisbenâtre (F) and went
to Haleine (F) at August 22nd and at September 3rd to Versailles (F).

According to Quesada August 13th and 14th were the most succesfull days of the Allied Tactical Air Forces in Europe.

Ivo,

The USAAF Chronology on websites such as http://paul.rutgers.edu/~mcgrew/wwii/usaf/html/ (The USAAF in WWII)
also gives good info about movements of Commands.

The dates Jaap has mentioned are confirmed there.

Regards,

Leendert
