  • The Far East Air Force (FEAF) was the military aviation organization of the United States Army in the Philippines just prior to and at the beginning of World War II. Formed on 16 November 1941, FEAF was the predecessor of the Fifth Air Force of the United States Army Air Forces and the United States Air Force. Initially the Far East Air Force also included aircraft and personnel of the Philippine Army Air Corps. Outnumbered operationally more than three-to-one by aircraft of the Japanese Navy and Army, FEAF was largely destroyed during the Philippines Campaign of 1941–42. When 14 surviving B-17 Flying Fortresses and 143 personnel of the heavy bombardment force were withdrawn from Mindanao to Darwin, Australia in the third week of December 1941, Headquarters FEAF followed it within days. The B-17s were the only combat aircraft of the FEAF to escape capture or destruction. The FEAF, with only 16 Curtiss P-40s and 4 Seversky P-35 fighters remaining of its original combat force, was broken up as an air organization and moved by units into Bataan 24–25 December. 49 of the original 165 pursuit pilots of FEAF's 24th Pursuit Group were also evacuated during the campaign, but of non-flying personnel, only one of 27 officers and 16 wounded enlisted men escaped the Philippines. Nearly all ground and flying personnel were employed as infantry at some point during their time on Bataan, where most surrendered on 9 April 1942. The surviving personnel and a small number of aircraft received from the United States were re-organized in Australia in January 1942, and on 5 February 1942 redesignated as "5 Air Force". With most of its aircraft based in Java, the FEAF was nearly destroyed a second time trying to stem the tide of Japanese advances southward. (en)
  • La Far East Air Force (FEAF) était l'organisation de l'aviation militaire de l'armée américaine aux Philippines juste avant et au début de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Formée le 16 novembre 1941, la FEAF était le prédécesseur de la Fifth Air Force des United States Army Air Forces et United States Air Force. Initialement, la Force aérienne d'Extrême-Orient comprenait également des aéronefs et du personnel de la Philippine Army Air Corps. La FEAF fut en grande partie détruite pendant la campagne des Philippines de 1941–42. Lorsque 14 Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress survivants et 143 membres de la force de bombardement lourd furent retirés de Mindanao à Darwin, en Australie, au cours de la troisième semaine de décembre 1941, le quartier général de la FEAF le suivit en quelques jours. Les B-17 étaient le seul avion de combat de la FEAF à échapper à la capture ou à la destruction lors de la retraite alliée. La FEAF, avec seulement 16 Curtiss P-40 et 4 chasseurs Seversky P-35 restants de sa force de combat d'origine, fut divisée en organisation aérienne et déplacée par des unités à Bataan du 24 au 25 décembre. 49 des 165 pilotes du 24e Pursuit Group de la FEAF furent également évacués pendant la campagne, mais du personnel non volant, un seul des 27 officiers et 16 hommes enrôlés blessés se sont échappés des Philippines. La quasi-totalité du personnel au sol et volant furent employé comme infanterie à un moment donné pendant leur séjour sur Bataan, où la plupart se sont rendus le 9 avril 1942. Le personnel survivant et un petit nombre d'aéronefs reçus des États-Unis furent réorganisés en Australie en janvier 1942, et le 5 février 1942 rebaptisés « Fifth Air Force ». La plupart de ses avions étant basés à Java, la FEAF fut quasiment détruite une seconde fois en essayant d'endiguer la vague des avancées japonaises vers le sud. (fr)

Inicialmente a FEAF também incluía aeronaves e pessoas da Força Aérea do Exército filipino. Foi destruída em grande parte durante a Batalha das Filipinas (1941-1942). Quando os restos das força de bombardeios, foram retirados de Mindanau no final de dezembro de 1941, e enviadas para bases na Austrália, sede da FEAF.Quase todos as unidades de terra e de vôo, isso quase 7.000 homens, foram então usados para as unidades de infantaria em Bataan, onde a maioria foi entregue em 9 de abril de 1942. As unidades aereas sobreviveram e foram re-organizados na Austrália, em 5 de fevereiro de 1942 como a Quinta Força Aérea dos EUA. A Força Aérea dos EUA no Extremo Oriente, também conhecido como FEAF foi organizada em 3 de agosto de 1944 como sede em Brisbane, Austrália, sob o comando do general George Kenney para supervisionar as operações do quinta, Décimo terceira e Sétima Força Aérea. Embora utilizando a mesma sigla, as duas organizações não estavam relacionados. (pt)
