  • Support Seems totally uncontroversial (especially since the unit never had this designation), be bold.
Same thing needs to be done for the Gulf Coast Air Corps Training Center [sic] and Southeast Air Corps Training Center [sic again] --Lineagegeek (talk) 22:12, 19 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

Citations edit

Citations to Manning generally lack a page, making checking them difficult. They were mostly added en masse. The previous move of this page was ill advised. The Lineage citation to Manning is only valid for the 1 November 1945 date on which the command at Santa Ana AAB was discontinued and the one at Randolph renamed. Word searches of a .pdf of Manning et al. by name and date indicate Manning never mentions the redesignation dates in the lineage. Contemporary documents make it clear that "Army Air Forces" was part of the command's designation from 1942-1945. e.g. Abstract, History, Army Air Forces Western Flying Training Command, January-December 1943. --Lineagegeek (talk) 22:34, 8 October 2018 (UTC)Reply
