The Mediterranean Allied Air Forces (MAAF), under the U.S. Army, were a multinational military alliance formed during World War II. Established in 1943, the MAAF was responsible for air operations primarily in the Mediterranean Theater of Operations. It comprised various national air forces, including the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF), Royal Air Force, and other allied air forces from Europe and the Middle East. The MAAF played a significant role in key campaigns such as the invasions of Sicily and Italy, the D-Day landings in Normandy, and the liberation of Greece and Yugoslavia. After the war, the MAAF was disbanded, but its legacy lived on in various forms, contributing to the development of modern multinational coalition air forces.
