The National Security Act of 1947 became law on July 26th of that year and, shortly thereafter on September 18, 1947, the United States Air Force was officially established as a separate service branch within the newly formed Department of Defense. From the earliest contributions of the 1st Aero Squadron in 1913 through those of the men and women of today’s global presence, the Air Force has proven itself to be an adaptable and effective fighting force. In this documentary, the USAF Band of Mid-America reflects on the Air Force's 75-year history and growth through musical performances, historical footage, and human interest stories. We congratulate the United States Air Force on its accomplishments, look eagerly to the future and salute the service of this elite corps on the occasion of its 75th anniversary!
Happy Anniversary!
