U.S. Army Air Corps

The U.S. Army Air Corps was a branch of the United States Army responsible for military aviation from 1926 until 1947. It played a crucial role in developing air power and tactics during World War II. The Air Corps trained pilots and coordinated air operations, significantly influencing modern warfare. In 1947, it transformed into the U.S. Air Force, a separate military branch, highlighting the importance of air power in national defense. The Air Corps laid the foundation for advanced aviation technology and strategic air operations that continue to be integral to military and humanitarian efforts today.
