[edit intro]

The United States Air Force officially became a separate branch of the Department of Defense via The National Security Act of 1947, which was enacted on July 26, 1947. This act established the Department of the Air Force, headed by a Secretary of the Air Force. But the Air Force has a history that goes back as early as 1903.
