	United States Air Forces in Europe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The mission of the United States Air Forces in Europe was to disarm and destroy all Luftwaffe air assets, dispose of excess USAAF property remaining in Europe, and provide airlift to remaining U.S. troops.
		Air Force Chief of Staff, General Hoyt S.Vandenburg later stated that in the summer of 1950 we had "a shoestring Air Force" A serious shortage of combat aircraft began to develop by the fall of 1950.
		Existing air bases in the Munich area were deemed too vulnerable to Soviet attack so new bases were constructed at Bitburg, Hahn, Pferdsfeld, Ramstein/Landstuhl, Sembach and Spandahlem and were in use by the mid 1950s.

		During the 1990s the Pakistan Air Force strived for alternative sources for its new generation fighter requirement (which was supposed to be filled by the F-16); the French Dassault Mirage 2000-5 was chosen but was too expensive to obtain.
		For the replacement of Crotale short to medium-range SAMs the Pakistan Air Force is negotiating with Italy for the Spada-2000 short to medium-range SAM system; although Pakistan's relations with Europe have been mixed, Pak-Italian relations have been quite strong in the recent years, especially in the field of avionics.

		By 1979 the air force, numbering close to 100,000 personnel, was by far the most advanced of the three services and among the most impressive air forces in the developing world.
		Reliable information on the air force after the Revolution was difficult to obtain, but it seems that by 1987 a fairly large number of aircraft had been cannibalized for spare parts.
		Finally, the air force's three SAM battalions and eight improved Hawk battalions were reorganized in the mid-1980s (in a project involving more than 1,800 missiles) into five squadrons that also contained Rapiers and Tigercats.

		Air Force Times reported that the base would protect the "vital industrial Mahoning Valley."

		JIC 250 predicted the Soviets would most likely follow this policy of accommodation with the West, unless they perceived their vital interests to be threatened, thus provoking the Soviet leadership to lash out against the Anglo-Americans.
		The JIC knew that Soviet activity in the field of rocketry had shown little success during the war and the Soviets were determined to remedy this deficiency.
		In addition, the JIC ascertained that the construction of air bases in eastern Siberia was to provide air coverage over Alaska, thereby facilitating a northern approach to the United States for offensive air operations and to provide for the defense of the USSR against a US attack.
