- ^ Maurer indicates that the unit was constituted as the "XXXVI" Fighter Command. However, the unit was constituted and activated with an arabic number in its name. The use of roman numerals to designate Army Air Forces combat commands did not begin until September 1942. Lua error in Module:Citation/CS1/Configuration at line 2172: attempt to index field '?'
