Air Defence of the Continental United States?
Colleagues:
Was there a formal organisation for the air defence of the United States in WW2 e.g. command and control functions, radars, interceptors, anti-aircraft artillery, etc? Thanks Don W

Re: Air Defence of the Continental United States?
Don,
Air defense for the Continental US was provided by 1st (Eastern seaboard), 2nd (Northwest), 3rd (Southeast) and 4th Air Force (Southwest). I'm sure there are websites that give more detailed info about the structure of each of them. A second, but equally important task of these Air Forces was to provide combat crew training.
