In November 1942, Jimmy Doolittle was in charge of the Operation Torch Air Forces when the United States entered the European War in Operation Torch. Operation Torch was headed by George S. Patton in charge of the American Troops who invaded North Africa at Casablanca on the Atlantic side. American and British Forces invaded Algeria and Oran on the Mediterranean Coast.
I believe you’ll find that Eisenhower was in charge of Operation Torch, with Patton and Fredendall commanding the western and center task forces respectively.
