The air force was established in September 1947. The National Security Act of 1947 set up the air force. Once known as the part of the army and called the air army unit it was separated and established to create a separate and equal element to the military. It is believed that funds were lacking for the units in air army and by separating and creating it's own identity it could be set up to receive monies from the US government for personnel and for building equipment.
