XXIX Tactical Air Command (Provisional)

The XXIX Tactical Air Command (Provisional) was a temporary command echelon of the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) during World War II. Formed likely for administrative purposes or to oversee a specific operation, the "(Provisional)" designation indicates a temporary or ad-hoc nature. Unlike permanently established numbered Air Commands, provisional commands typically had a limited lifespan, existing only until the specific need for their existence dissipated or a more permanent structure could be implemented. Records concerning specific activities, duration, and units assigned to the XXIX Tactical Air Command (Provisional) may be limited or difficult to access due to its short-term nature. Research into relevant USAAF operational reports and historical archives is recommended for further information.
