Those Groups operating from forward airfields in Europe had to deal with weather and jumping from field to field as the ground forces advanced towards Germany. I wonder how many 9th AF aircraft were damaged or destroyed in landing/takeoff accidents at these rapidly built fields? I just finished reading about XIX TAC and their cooperation with Third Army. The winter of '44/'45 was full of bad weather and deteriorating runway conditions at the advanced fields.

A friend, who has since passed on, served as a Met. Officer at advanced bases post D-Day. He suggested some pretty scary situations with the tough winter conditions for their operations and the bravery of the young pilots flying ops on those conditions.
