Second Air Army (Japan)

In June 1942 (Showa 17), the Kwantung Army's air corps was reorganized and organized, and was responsible for air defense in Manchuria. Initially, the 2nd and 4th Flight Divisions were subordinated, but due to the reorganization on May 12, 1944, both divisions were transferred to the south.

In August 1945 (Showa 20) the war ended while the 2nd Air Army was engaged in fighting with the Soviet Union.
