Encyclopedia: United States Army Air Corps

The United States Army Air Corps (USAAC) was the predecessor of the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) from 1926 to 1941, which in turn was the forerunner of today's United States Air Force (USAF). Although abolished as an organization in 1941, it existed as a branch subordinate to the USAAF from 1941 to 1947.

Today, the name Army Air Corps (AAC) is a subordinate element of the United States Army and is unrelated to the original USAAC.
