Trace the history of the 100th Division - THE DIVISION OF THE CENTURY - from its beginnings in World War II through today. Personal war stories & biographies by 100th Veterans. Hundreds of historic photographs.

For the first time, Dan Hagedorn brings forth the complete story of Army Air Corps & Army Air Force defense of the Panama Canal & Caribbean. This book details the history from 1917-1945 with the aircraft, units & men whose previously unrecorded contributions led to Allied victory in World War II. Richly illustrated with photographs & tables, the story takes the reader from the days of the 7th Aero Squadron to the creation of the 6th Air Force & Antilles Air Command.

This book is concerned primarily with the combat (or tactical) groups that were active during the Second World War. Although such groups had numerous designations, nearly all fell within four major categories: bombardment, fighter, reconnaissance, and troop carrier. The book covers both the combat groups that served overseas and those that remained in the United States. It also covers combat organizations above the group level. It does not deal with provisional organizations or with air base, maintenance, supply, medical, transport, and other service or support organizations. Although this book is devoted exclusively to organizations that were active during World War II, its coverage of those organizations is not confined to the World War II period. Instead, each organization is traced back to its origin and forward to 1 January 1956, with later activations being mentioned if they took place prior to the time the draft of the book was prepared in 1957-1958. The organizations are presented under the designations they carried on 2 September 1945. For each organization there is information concerning insigne, lineage, operations, assignments, aircraft (for groups only), components, stations, commanders, campaigns, and decorations.

This bibliography lists published and printed unit histories for the United States Air Force and Its Antecedents, including Air Divisions, Wings, Groups, Squadrons, Aviation Engineers, and the Women's Army Corps.
