The Air Force used to be part of the army. My dad spent the war teaching pilots how to fly. He kept volunteering to go to Europe, they kept him in Arizona teaching pilots. He finally got assigned to go on a bomber over Japan, but Japan surrendered before he could go.

The Air Force became a separate service later.
