Abstract
From August 1944 until May 1945, George S. Patton's Third Army [End Page 613] received the dedicated support of Otto P. Weyland's XIX Tactical Air Command (TAC). This account demonstrates that the XIX TAC contributed materially to the Third Army's success in World War II. The air-ground teamwork that flowed from the mutual respect and admiration for one another of Patton and Weyland helped secure victory. Written from a command perspective, this case study of tactical air power is solidly based on primary sources, including unit histories, official reports, and diaries.
