History lesson. I the 1940′s there no Air Force, It was called the Army Air Corp. In 1950 the AAC became the Air Force. Love the nose art.

0 for 2. Maybe try the word ‘was’. Also, spend a little less time working on your history lessons and just a little more on your grammar.

top dog,
your year of the start of the U.S. Air Force is wrong, it was 1947.

Man, try and paint something like that on an aircraft today and you’d have your ass in a sling pronto. Those were the days, when men could behave like men and folks in the military were allowed to be bad asses.

This settles it. In WW2, the only thing our soldiers thought about more than killing Nazis and Japanese was pussy.

I mean all day, every day, they thought about pussy.

Approximately 1 in 10 would have been thinking about dick, but freedom is what we fight for.

In actuality, the U.S. Army Air Corp broke away to be it's own service in 1947. My roommates dad joined the USAF in 1949 & it had already been around a few years at that point.
