"Jack G" wrote: Why is it that most United States Air Force planes Have "U. S.

Thanks for any replies. Service choice. The Army, Marines, and Navy are secure enough to just use their service name, and let the US insignia say everything else. The USAF, coming off their USAAF inferiority complex with the 1947 reorganization of the military services and establishment of DoD and the USAF independent from the Army, have demonstrated that inferiority complex proudly for more than 50 years. Off we go, into the wild blue yonder, flying high while thinking low ... Sounds like you were rejected by the USAF. |
