In defense of these latter, it may
be said that they are allowed to

Weapon of Destruction.
But, although these statistics give
an indication of AAF's destructive
power, they cannot accurately
measure its contribution to the ulti-
mate victory-the real contribution
is in the extent that its air power
furthered destruction of the enc
my's military strength and re-
sources.
In the months of 1915. following
the surrender of Japan, AAF saw
swift rehabilitation. Personnel,
which had reached a peak of more
than 2,411 1000 in 1915, fell off to
1888, 1856 by the end of the year. At
the same time, aircraft fell off from
wartime peak of almost 10000 to
about 10000. And the downward
trend was by no means finished
AAF continued to lose both men
and planes for many months.
In 1916, the emphasis turned to
aeronautical research. That year
saw the debuts of such aircraft as
the speedy jet fighters, the Lock-
heed P-S0 and the Republic Pa;
the giant six-engine bomber, the
Consolidated Vultee XB So; the
Flying Wing" the Northrop XB-
IS, and the AAF's first rocket plane,
the Bell XS-1.
In one of the most significant
aerial flights AAF had ever
made, Col. Clarence S. Irvine,
assisted by a crew of nine, flew
Boeing B-29 from Hawaii to
Cairo, via the North Pole, on
October 4, 1916. Total time for
the flight Of approximately TO-
900 miles was only 80 hours
and SO minutes.
On February %, 1947, AAF made
another great record fight, when
two pilots flew a North American
Twin Mustang fighter 5000 miles
from Honolulu to New York City.

NEW SPEED RECORD On
its 10th anniversary, AAF flashes
into the age of sonic speeds. This
P-8O, the Shooting Star, set new
world speed record by streaking
623.S mph at Muroc army base in
California, returning the record to
the U. S. after "a years.
The pilots, 1t. Col. Robert E.
Thacker and First 1t. John M. Ard,
made the trip in IA hours and SO
minutes, completing the longest
fighter flight on record.
Development Continues.
The work in research and devel-
opment continued and the early
months of 1947 saw a group of new
bombers join the AAF's postwar
fleet. On March II, the North Amer
lean BIAS, the first four-jet bomber,
made its first test flight. 1t was fol-
lowed, on April 2, by the Consoli-
dated-Vultee XB46, another four-jet
bomber. In May, the Martin XB-48,
the first six-jet bomber, also flew
successfully, as did the Boeing B-5O,
a new and greatly improved YER
sion of the famous wartime BIG.
AAF has come a long way in 40
years. Although it has undergone
considerable rehabilitation since
end of World War II, it still has
some 100000 officers and men
more than half again its peak
strength in World War I. Its inven-
tory of $4,000 planes (only about
10000 of which, however, are con-
sidered first line aircraft) almost
doubled the total delivered in World
War I. AAF is still force to be
reckoned with.
1t is said that life begins at 40,
and this could be true of army air
forces-for today AAF is on the
threshold of its greatest aeronauti-
cal advancement. Further, the pos
sibility of an autonomous air force,
on level with, rather than SUBJ
ordinate to, the army, appears to
be a strong possibility. AAF looks
to the future, confident that the
years to come will be as full as the
40 gone by.

bers of AAF, is the official sponsor
OF the observance. In more than 100
cities and towns where the associa-
ton has chartered squadrons, the

carried out by these groups with the
aid and cooperation of personnel
from nearby AAF establishments.
To Demonstrate Aircraft.
Special events are planned at all
AAt' bases in this country as well
as at AAF establishments still ac-
tive In Europe, the Far East and
other parts of the world. Air dem
onstrations, open houses. dinners
and banquets will highlight the
days programs. At the open houses
AAF will exhibit aircraft and other
new equipment to the public.
AAF came into being on August 1,
1907, when the aeronautical division
OF the signal corps was created to
handle "all matters pertaining to
military ballooning. air machines
and kindred subjects" Capt.
Charles Def. Chandler was placed
In charge and assigned two enlisted
men, Cpl. Edward Ward and Pfc.
Joseph E. Barrett.
On July 81, 1909, the aeronau-
teal division accepted its first
airplane. It was a fabric COW
cred hi plane built by the
Wright Brothers Of Dayton,
Ohio, capable of a speed Of 40
miles per hour. Contract price
was $4,000.
From that time until World War
/, the aeronautical division pro-
crossed slowly. New personnel was
recruited and training schools acti-
waited, but there was no great ex-
pansion.
Expands During War.
The expansion came with World
War I. At the outbreak of the war,
the aviation section, as it was then
known, numbered about 100 officers
and slightly more than 1000 en-
listed men. At its peak strength, in
1918, the aviation section numbered
more than 1876, 1000 officers and men.
Starting with only SIS planes. the
aviation section received 13,9O1 dur
ing the war years from American
industry and bought 5,151 more in
Europe.
On March l, 1885, general head
quarters air force was established.
This new unit was not merely a
change in designation for the air
corps, but new organization with
in the army. CHG, as it was called,
was on the same level as the office
of the chief of air corps, but it was
concerned with the operational
work while the air corps continued
to handle supply and training ad-
ministration.
February, 1886, saw the debut of
the plane which was later to be-
come the "guts and backbone" of
army air forces-the Boeing BIT

In 1887, the air corps dropped out
of lighter-than-air experimentation,
turning over its remaining airships,
the TC-13 and TC-14, and other
lighter-than-air equipment, to the
navy.
AAF Is Formed.

need for an overall air arm which

In 1941, with war on the horizon,
AAF began great expansion pro-
gram. The quota of pilots was
raised to $4,000 a year, and several
schools were opened to meet the
need for technical specialists.
Then, on December 7, 1941,
the Japanese struck the blow

resulted ultimately in develop

of 275,O00 enlisted men, $4,000

There were eight air forces,
four within the continental
limits and four without.
Achievements of the AAF pro-

stories of the war. A few statistics

forcing the capitulation of the axis
powers. During the war against
