Best Answer

The British Army Air Corps was founded in 1911, using balloons and later aircraft, it was joined with the Royal Naval Air Service to form the RAF in 1918, but re appeared to fly gliders in WW2 and now operates Army Helicopters.

The US Army Air Corps formed out of the US Air Service in 1926 (the Air Service having been formed in spring 1918) and became the USAF in 1941 - although the paperwork took a while to sort out. The modern Air component of the Army is the Aviation Branch - starting in the 1950's with helicopter units and Air Cav and formally reappearing in 1983.

The French formed their Air Corps in 1909 - becoming a separate "Armee de l'Air" in 1933, they formed a new Air Corps similar to the British Helicopter one in 1954.
