No. 5 Group RAF

No. 5 Group RAF was a division within the Royal Air Force during World War II, primarily responsible for coordinating bomber operations against Germany. Established in 1943, it managed a large number of aircraft and crews based in the UK, playing a key role in strategic bombing campaigns. The group worked closely with the United States Army Air Forces and other Allied units to target enemy industry, infrastructure, and military installations, aiming to weaken Germany’s war capacity. Its efforts were a significant part of the Allied air strategy and contributed to the overall Allied victory in Europe.
