Nearly 90% of all US bases in the UK were in the southeastern corner of England. Some of the B-17 bases still exist, preserved as memorials to the men to flew hazardous daylight raids over Europe.
Technically speaking the US had no bases in Britain in WW2 (a fiction that continues today), but occupied RAF bases rented under reverse Lend-Lease. In practice many of the bases were built to USAAF specification and were exclusively occupied by USAAF personnel.
There were Maritime, transport, training and fighter squadrons stationed in the UK on over 70 bases spread out over the entire country, but the ones we remember best are the B17 bomber stations such as those featured in the film 'Memphis Belle' (the 1944 documentary not the ghastly Hollywood movie), with names like Steeple Mordern and Chipping Ongar. Most B17 stations were clustered in East Anglia and the East Midlands in counties such as Norfolk, Suffolk, Linconshire. The reasons were relatively flat country, low population density and a short distance to the European heartland.
