bamboo and canvas bi-plane contraption dismissively called a "kite". It remained a bastard child of the Army until fully proving itself in WWII and in 1947, President Harry Truman signed the legislation creating the independent Air Force and Stuart Symington was sworn in as the first Secretary of the Air Force on September 18th of that year.Ole Pec
oz ain't gonna bore you with all of the Air Force history here in San Antonio since WWI, it's all out their in cyberspace for those who care. But it's been a crazy ride. From Foulois' ride in the kite, to the pilot training at Randolph AFB (West Point of the Air), to the arrival of the famed XC99 (worlds biggest prop cargo plane), to the regular refueling of the 747 piggy-backing the Shuttle back to Florida from California... What a ride!!
