The United States 8th Army Air Force in the UK
Much has been written on the history of the Mighty Eighth in the UK and I am not planning on putting any history here. However, this page is intended to be a list of known sites in the UK that were used by OR allocated to the 8th Air Force. If you can add to it, or spot any errors, please let me know.
