LOL, long ago in a galaxy far away, us fighters and bombers had USAAF decals on their wings and tails, because the air force was a small branch of the army. One of the gentleman in charge of this small branch thought that maybe his outfit deserved more of the public pie, and realized that he wouldn't be getting any more of the public pie so long as he was just a small branch of a larger force. So he continually petitioned his betters until a special designation was created for his interests, so that cash could be dumped into those interests. Thus the US Air Force.
