No, it's not an authorised Air Force award, and they wouldn't qualify for it anyhow, as the awarding of the CIB is pretty much restricted to infantry soldiers. The equivalent Air Force award is their own Combat Action Medal.

Did World War 2 Artillerymen qualify for the Combat Infantry Badge?
No.My dad was an artilleryman and a forward observer assigned to an infantry division. Even though he went out on patrols with the infantry, he was not qualified for the Combat Infantryman's Badge. Only soldiers who had a rating as an infantrymancould earn the CIB. Medics were eventually issued a medic badge, but the artilleryman never got a badge.As a side-note, artillery spotters would be flown on in light aircraft to observe the enemy positions. They were awarded the Air Medal for these flights.Custermen*side note*The army has finally decided to give artillerymen an award for combat service. The Combat Action Badge (CAB) is not strictly for artillerymen, but is meant for troops who are involved in combat but are not infantry. The creation of this badge is the result of IED's and the need to recognize troops who would not normally be involved in combat (truck drivers, mechanics, etc). This is the only badge artillerymen are currently awarded and its a shame that we do not have combat artillery badge.
