what was the waf air force
About 2,000 enlisted personnel and 177 officers continued to work in Air Force units although they remained in the Army. In June 1948, Congress established the Women in the Air Force (WAF), but limited the corps to 300 officers and 4,000 enlisted women. In June 1976, women were accepted into the service on much the same conditions as were men, and the separate status of the WAF was abolished.
