Air Corps (U.S.)

The Air Corps was the aerial warfare branch of the United States Army from 1926 until 1947. It was responsible for military aviation operations, including training pilots and conducting air missions during World War II. In 1947, it was reorganized as the United States Air Force, establishing it as an independent military branch. The Air Corps played a vital role in developing air power tactics and aircraft technologies, significantly influencing modern military strategy and aviation. Its legacy continues to shape how the U.S. conducts air operations today.
