  Etain-Rouvres Air Base - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An agreement was reached to develop Etain into a NATO facility and station United States Air Force tactical fighter-bombers there by the end of 1954.
As the 388th was originally formed in December 1942, and the 49th was formed in January 1941, the older wing's heritage was preserved by tranferring its lineage to Etain.
Therefore many personnel from Etain were transferred to RAF Lakenheath in the United Kingdom to bring the 48th TFW there at full strength, and some were transferred to other USAF facilities in France to fill manpower shortages.

 The Tumulus of Etain | ACO MYTHOLOGY   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
The wife swallowed Étaín and in time gave birth to her: 'It was one thousand and twelve years from the first begetting of Etain by Ailill to the last begetting by Etar.' Étaín, retaining her own name, grew up as an Irish princess.
In the Irish conception of re-birth there is no change of gender: Lug is re-born as a boy, in Cuchulainn; Finn as Mongan; Etain as a girl.
But it seems that Etain as a mortal had no consciousness of her previous divine existence, while Cuchulainn and Mongan knew their non-human origin and pre-existence.
