97th Air Mobility Wing
The United States Air Force's 97th Bombardment Wing, Very Heavy, was organized on 1 December 1947 at Mile 26 Air Field, later named Eielson Air Force Base (AFB), Alaska, but its heritage comes from the 97th Bombardment Group which flew B-17 Flying Fortress bombers in Europe during World War II. The new wing reported to Fifteenth Air Force, Strategic Air Command (SAC), although the Yukon Sector of the Alaskan Air Command controlled its operations.
