History Of The Air Force

The Air Force was established August 1, 1907. When the military demanded that we have something that would take care of the issuses in the sky. The first airplane was tested at Fort Meyer, VA on August 20, 1908. The Orville Wright was the first plane ever but it crashed and killed the pilot Lt. Thomas E. Selfridge. The Air Force then broke apart and became there own branch of military on July 26, 1947. The 1st aero squadrant which was the very first squad to take on actual missions led the whole Air Force in World War I. By the time World War I broke out the Air Force had pilot school and many other advances that they did not have before. These are some of the important events that happened in the Air Force history that helped shape it today.

Air Force 101

Brock's Airforce Dream

I want to be a fighter pilot in the United States Air Force that is the dream I have. For those who do not know what a fighter pilot is it is simply a pilot who will fly fighter jets like the F22-Raptor. These pilots don't always fight they just fly the fighter aircrafts. My step dad was a sarge in the Air Force and has taught me a lot almost everything there is to know about the Air Force.
