In June of 1941, with much of Europe already engulfed in war, the United States remained reluctant to go to a war footing for good political reasons. Her air force was a relatively modest size, with around 9,000 officers and 143,000 men maintaining about 6,000 aircraft. From that point on however the country began to make more preparations, particularly after the attack on Pearl Harbour had forced her into the war proper, and by March 1944 the USAAF reached its peak size, with 2.4 million men and women maintaining an astonishing fleet of around a quarter of a million airplanes.

While the impact of bombing raids on enemy cities continues to be debated to this day, there is no doubt the USAAF had an enormous influence on the war in Europe, and while circumstances meant it was naval aviation that predominated in the Pacific, there too the USAAF had an important role to play.
