WW II in Color: US Army Air Forces

The outbreak of war prompts the US to prepare its forces. As they train to combat Germany's tactics, Japan's surprise attack ignites a global conflict, pushing America's air power towards the east and the west.

Across the Pacific, Europe, Africa, and Asia, US air services partner with ground and naval forces. Balancing transport, supply, and combat, they protect Allied interests on land and sea.

After two years of war, the US Air Force scale up, adapting new strategies, improving transport, and refining combat techniques. As the Allies advance, Axis forces begin to retreat worldwide.

Nazi forces fall back as Hitler's fortress Europe crumbles. The US Army Air Force becomes history's largest air armada, gaining the air superiority needed to secure Allied victory.

The US Air Force showcase dedication and bravery as they defeat Germany. New super bombers and combat strategies aid in bringing down the Third Reich and Japan, thereby ending WWII.
