The United States Army Air Force, also known as USAAF or AAF, was created in 1941. It was one of three components of the United States Army and controlled the United States Army Air Corps and the Air Force Combat Command. The USAAF played a major role during World War II and administered all parts of military aviation. It was the successor of the United States Army Air Corps and in 1947 it became the United States Air Force. This meant that the Air Force was now a separate and equal branch of the United States Armed Forces.
