XX Bomber Command


 

The XX Bomber Command of the USAAF was established in November 1943 to oversee B-29 Superfortress training in the US. The XX, an operational unit under the Twentieth Air Force was then moved to India. Under the plan known as Operation Matterhorn the XX bombed Japan from forward bases in China, supported by supplies from India. Early in 1945 the B-29 moved to newly established bases in the Marianas and XX Bomber Command stopped being an operational command.
