On AAC, yes until the USAF broke off in '47.

AAC went out of business years before 1947. I think it turned into USAAF in
1941. I would have to look it up to be sure.

Nope, it is was 1947. Straight from the USAF Museum's web site:

From that website it says:

"During WW II, the AAF was almost independent from the Army, "

Notice it says AAF, not AAC.

1907 - Aeronautical Section of the Signal Corps.
1914 - Aviation Section (Signal Corps).
1918 - United States Army Air Service
1926 - United States Army Air Corps
1941 - United States Army Air Forces
1947 - United States Air Force

Hmm. Yep, you are correct. I thought they went straight from the AAC to
the USAF. I'll practice those reading skills.

First mistake this year
