Post World War II[edit]

Great article. Noticed that this is World War II only ... So added Post WWII - stuff from 1978 and 1981. Supcmd (talk) 08:04, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Questionable dates[edit]

The article's Overview sections states:

Headquarters, Fifth Air Force, was re-staffed at Brisbane, Australia on 18 September 1942 and the Fifth Air Force was placed under the command of 52-year-old Major General George Kenney on Tuesday, 28 July 1942 ...

This seems to be an inconsistent sequence of dates, since Gen. Kenney took command before the Brisbane re-staffing took place. I can find no reference(s) that support(s) either of these dates, and therefore wonder if they are correct. If someone in the Wikipedia community could verify these dates, that would be most appreciated. Truthanado (talk) 00:07, 2 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
