HAPPY 62nd BIRTHDAY to the UNITED STATES AIR FORCE!!
The official date of the founding of the US Air Force is 18 September 1947. It was a momentous event that 59 years later has demonstrated the achievement of an Air Force second-to-none. Its history and heritage goes back a lot further. From the time that the US military purchased its first aircraft in 1909 up to 1947, the US Air Force did not exist as a separate and independent military service organization. It went through a series of designations: Aeronautical Section, Signal Corps (1909); Aviation Section, Signal Corps (1914); United States Army Air Service (1918); United States Army Air Corps (1926), United States Army Air Forces (1941).
