Continental Air Forces

[6] A plan for developing Andrews Field as the headquarters of the Continental Air Forces for September 1944 was enacted.

[9] The HQ AAF Director of Operations responded that "until the kind of defense needed to counter future attacks could be determined, AC&W planning would have to be restricted to the use of available radar sets".

[12] At the Watson Laboratories in New Jersey,[13] AMC's Electronics Subdivision held a "Manufacturers Conference" on 26–28 June 1946 for planning the "Improved Search Radar".

"[15] The Continental Air Forces reorganization began by 31 January 1946 when Abilene Army Airfield was closed.

[6] CAF installations reassigned on 21 March 1946 included Grandview transferred to the Army Division Engineers,[clarification needed] Mitchel Field to ADC, and both Tyndall Field and Army Air Base, Knob Knoster, to TAC.

CAF's studies for computerized airborne early warning and control were developed into the 1950s Lincoln Transition System that became the Semi-Automatic Ground Environment.
