How the Air Force Got Its Start 72 Years Ago
John Venable / September 18, 2019
Wednesday marks the 72nd birthday of the U.S. Air Force.
Proud Air Force members today help keep the peace and provide unmatched capabilities from the air to support America’s national defense needs—from the skies of Afghanistan to the missile silos in North Dakota.
Conceived in World War I and born out of the Army Signal Corps two years after the end of World War II, the Air Force was established through the National Security Act on Sept. 18, 1947.
While by far the youngest of the four military branches within the Department of Defense, the Air Force crosses the boundaries of, and directly impacts the success of, every other branch and their collective support of the National Military Strategy.
