Happy Birthday US Air Corps

Today in History, July 18, 1914 – The U.S. Congress forms the Aviation Section, U.S. Signal Corps, giving official status to aircraft within the U.S. Army for the first time.


Also attached are my US Army wings from 1969

My Dad's WWII primary flight logbook. June 5 1944 (one day after D Day) to June 21. He soloed in 10 hours which is pretty incredible.

He was in training when the war ended. I am still searching for his other logbooks, etc.

My Great Niece now has his leather flight jacket.
