From Wikipedia: "The United States Army Air Corps (USAAC) was the statutory administrative military forerunner of the current United States Air Force. Renamed from the earlier United States Army Air Service on 2nd July 1926, it was part of the larger United States Army and the immediate predecessor of the United States Army Air Forces (U.S.A.A.F. ), reorganized and established on June 20, 1941, during the subsequent period of World War II. Although abolished as an administrative echelon in 1942, the Air Corps (AC) remained as one of the combat arms of the Army until 1947 with the Executive orders and Congressional act establishing the "national military establishment" with the United States Department of Defense replacing the old previous War (with a Department of the Army) and Navy Departments and additional creation of an Air Force Department. The Air Corps was renamed by the United States Congress largely as a compromise between the advocates of a separate air arm and those of the traditionalist in the Army high command who viewed the aviation arm as an auxiliary branch to support the ground forces. Although its members worked to promote the concept of air power and an autonomous air force between 1926 and 1941, its primary purpose by Army policy remained support of ground forces rather than independent operations. This was the cause advanced by the famous Brig. Gen. William ("Billy") Mitchell leading to his unfortunate 1925 court-martial and featured in a famous Hollywood feature movie in 1955, "The Court-Martial of Billy Mitchell" portrayed by Gary Cooper. On 1 March 1935, still struggling with the issue of a separate air arm, the Army activated the General Headquarters Air Force for centralized control of aviation combat units within the continental United States, separate from but coordinate with the Air Corps. The separation of the Air Corps from control of its combat units caused problems of unity of command that became more acute as the Air Corps enlarged in preparation for World War II. This was resolved by the creation of the Army Air Forces on 20 June 1941, when both organizations became subordinate to the new higher echelon. The Air Corps ceased to have an administrative structure after 9 March 1942, but as "the permanent statutory organization of the air arm, and the principal component of the Army Air Forces, " the overwhelming majority of personnel assigned to the AAF were members of the Air Corps."
