In the aftermath of World War II, the Continental Air Command was redesignated as the Strategic Air Command (SAC). This book comprehensively documents SAC tactical aircraft markings from the organisation's inception in 1946 to the end of the tail-marking era in April 1953. The SAC's history is described along with the evolution of its aircraft markings policy; basic definitions on aircraft markings terminology; and individual unit sections on SAC's bombardment, strategic reconnaissance and fighter groups and wings.
