4. ANALYSIS (“Time line”) exercise Model Paragraph Although the U. S. Air Force was not officially created until after the Second World War, it had existed under other names since the beginning of the century. The Army Air Forces were started on August 1, 1907, as a part of the Aeronautical Division of the U,S. Signal Corps, and it was more than one year later that this small division carried out its first mission in its own airplane. When the United States entered World War I in 1917, the Aviation Service, as it was then called, had only thirty five pilots. On December 7, 1941, the renamed Army Air Forces had only three thousand of their ten thousand planes ready for combat. Finally, in 1947, the U. S. Air Force was established as a separate branch of the military.
