2TAF ( Second Tactical Air Force )
Please click on 2TAF ( in RAF Germany ) for a more concise history of 2TAF. In 1945 the RAF parts of 2TAF ( Second Tactical Air Force ) were divided between the 2TAF Front, with it`s HQ in Bad Eilsen, and 2TAF Rear, with its HQ in Bückeburg. The Army HQ was at Bad Oeynhausen. On the 15th July 1945 the Front and Rear parts of 2TAF amalgamated into BAFO ( British Air Forces of Occupation ). During September 1951 BAFO reverted back to 2TAF, and in 1952 2TAF became a part of 2ATAF. The two HQ`s at Bad Eilsen and Bad Oeynhausen moved to Rheindahlen in 1954 becoming RAF Rheindahlen HQ 2ATAF and part of NATO. |
