SAVE22 is wishing the United States Air Force a happy 77th birthday today!
The U.S. Air Force was established as its own branch of the military by Congress and President Harry S. Truman on September 18th, 1947. Prior to this new organization, aircraft and pilots had been under the purview of the U.S. Army, which purchased its first airplane from Orville Wright in 1909.
Thank you to all of our past, present and future leaders in the Air Force who continue to keep our great nation and foreign interests protected!
