Talk:Ira C. Eaker

Four star promotion
Since he was promoted to four star rank in 1985, shouldn't that (General) be listed as his highest rank? --rogerd (talk) 02:31, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Commander of 8AF ?
In the article there is a statement, that Eaker was second in command of 8AF, but as 8AF was established on February 22, 1944, as stated here :

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eighth_Air_Force

based on 8. Bomber Command, he cant be commander of this unit in 1942. I'm not sure where is the truth, when exactly did 8AF start ?

 * His original command was the VIII Bomber Group which morphed into 8th Air Force. Malke 2010  20:56, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
