The 2nd Air Command was the collective name given to the bomb and fighter wings who would jointly carry out heavier attacks in the event of war.

In peacetime, his tasks included planning exercises, inspecting wing drills, and leading joint and large-scale applied exercises, meaning he did not have constant command over the wings.

[4] Flygeskadern (the "Air Command") was organized when the state of preparedness was declared in September 1939 and was dissolved (except for the staff) in the latter part of 1940.

[5] The 2nd, 3rd and 4th Air Commands were disbanded on 1 October 1966 and their duties were taken over by the military district staffs.

[7] After the air defence districts were decommissioned on 30 September 1957, a deputy commander position was added.
