RV_ Posted September 18, 2022 Report Share Posted September 18, 2022 By: Vanessa Lee, AFSA Legislative Communications & Administrative Assistant We would like to wish the Air Force a hearty happy birthday on its 75th. The National Security Act of 1947 was passed on September 18, 1947, making that day the official Air Force Birthday. The United States Department of Defense was established thanks to this law. As a result, the United States Air Force was founded as a distinct branch of the armed forces. On September 18, 2022, a 75th Air Force Day celebration will take place. The U.S. Army conducted flying operations for the military on land and at sea prior to the establishment of the Air Force. The history of this branch of the military is crucial to understanding the development of American air power. Naturally, Orville and Wilbur Wright, who invented mechanized flight with their successful trip in 1903, are largely responsible for the Air Force's birthday. Depending on the time of day and where you are, all you may need to do to find out how the military honors the Air Force's birthday is to gaze up into the sky. The Thunderbirds precision combat air demonstration squadron performs aerial displays during Air Force celebrations, and various aircrafts fly in and land at military airshows. Cheers on the Air Force's birthday! Aim High, Fly-Fight-Win for many more years to come!
