Talk:United States Air Forces in Europe – Air Forces Africa

message: Neither the article on the U2, nor the RAF Akrotiri article confirms that US U2 planes are based there. Is there any evidence ? Otherwise this USAFE article requires amending in this respect. JRL 07:29, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

message: :: It would appear to me that this is an error "Berliner Radfunk" - the correct name would probably be "Berliner Rundfunk". There is no such German word as Radfunk. This ex-Berliner seems to be remembering "Berliner Rundfunk" from the East. 121.209.56.80 (talk) 04:27, 7 May 2014 (UTC)

message: I removed "— as well as the great good, of course -" from the first sentence of the "Post Cold War era" section since what is good is a subjective choice.

message: This article seems to be a copyvio ever since this edit which seems to have been copied from the USAFE factsheet at the USAF site. Before reverting I want to give the opportunity to respond, since there may be something special about the text (PD perhaps, like government pictures). - Dammit 13:04, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

message: "Even with the active war in Korea raging, in the early 1950s, Europe received a higher priority of air power than Korea by the Truman Administration and the Department of Defense. Deterring the threat of a Communist takeover of Western Europe was considered more important to our long-term survival than a Communist victory in Korea."
I have a few problems with this statement. The most obvious is "our", but the entire sentence strikes me as POV. If someone could cite official policy that backs this up, or even a statement that would be great. For now ive just changed "our" to "United State's" but I may remove the whole thing as some point in the next week.

message: Pershing was deployed by the U.S. Army and the Luftwaffe.  The USA had 108 launchers and the Germans had 72 launchers.  The Germans never upgraded to P2, but they had P1A through the INF retrograde.  --— Gadget850 (Ed) talk -  17:27, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

message: This section was removed in error.  European Air Materiel Command was part of USAFE, not of Air Force Logistics Command (where the removed material now resides).
The period covered by the material removed, incomplete as it is, is shortly after the end of World War II, based on the few subordinate units listed.  At that time, AFLC's predecessor had no responsibility for logistic support in overseas theaters.  In 1945 IX Air Service Command was reassigned from Ninth Air Force to what was at the time USSTAF (about the date IX ASC moved to Erlangen).   On 7 October 1946, IX ASC was redesignated European Air Materiel Command.  It remained assigned to USAFE until it was inactivated on 15 September 1947.  The command was disbanded on 8 October 1948.
There may be come confusion with a later organization. On 1 March 1954, Air Materiel Force, European Area was activated at Lindsey Air Station. Like its predecessor, it was assigned to USAFE.  However, Air Materiel Command finally attained global responsibility for USAF logistics support, and AMF, European Area was transferred  to it on 1 January 1956.  AMC moved the force to Chateauroux Air Station in May 1958 and AFLC inactivated in on 1 July 1962.  This unit was disbanded on 21 September 1984.   --Lineagegeek (talk) 00:14, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

message: Should there be a section about the Red Army Faction trying to blow up USAFE headquarters in 1981 or the terrible plane crash that happened during an air show in 1988. Both had serious consequences for the operations on the base.  Pgraves6690 (talk) 06:01, 31 December 2016 (UTC)
