I don't often cut videos slack for errors, but is this really an error or just an approximation? It's common to describe locations of things like military bases to civilians by reference to the closest large city. Nobody outside Louisiana has ever heard of Bossier City, but they have heard of Shreveport, so this helps them visualize the location. Most people think Andrews AFB is in DC when Camp Springs is actually further from DC than Barksdale is from Shreveport.

You said 7th Air Group, and then you said 7th Air Division. An Air Division was a subsidiary of an Air Force, such as the famous 8th Air Force. A group is usually a subsidiary of an Air Division or a Wing, and is labeled by the type of group, for example it might be called 7th Bombardment Group. Which level of organization did Brigadier General Cohen command? Thanks.

@rapman5791 Well I've been to Barksdale more than once and I never heard of Bossier city, but I knew it was near Shreveport. So that actually supports my theory, Mr. local yokel.
