Four star promotion

Since he was promoted to four star rank in 1985, shouldn't that (General) be listed as his highest rank? --rogerd (talk) 02:31, 9 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Commander of 8AF ?

Latest comment: 14 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

In the article there is a statement, that Eaker was second in command of 8AF, but as 8AF was established on February 22, 1944, as stated here :

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eighth_Air_Force

based on 8. Bomber Command, he cant be commander of this unit in 1942. I'm not sure where is the truth, when exactly did 8AF start ?

Thanks Radek Havelka (talk) 08:31, 9 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

His original command was the VIII Bomber Group which morphed into 8th Air Force.Malke 2010 20:56, 29 June 2010 (UTC)Reply
