The US efforts in the Combined Bomber Offensive, by the Mighty 8th Air Force, was hampered throughout 1942 and much of 1943 by the diversion of resources to North Africa and the Mediterranean theaters, as well as pressing issues in the Pacific. But as the end of 1943 rolled around, the 8th became a mighty host, and by mid-1944 had gutted the Luftwaffe, and could roam across western Europe delivering destruction.
