The chronology is concerned primarily with operations of the US Army Air Forces and its combat units between December 7, 1941 and September 15, 1945. It is designed as a companion reference to the seven-volume history of The Army Air Forces in World War II, edited by Wesley Frank Craven and James Lea Cate. The research was a cooperative endeavor carried out in the United States Air Force historical archives by the Research Branch of the Albert F. Simpson Historical Research Center.
This chronology is available at several locations on the internet and contains information for all Theaters of Operations. Primarily CBI-related events are included here, except for key events that occured in other Theaters or affected the outcome of the War.
