Answer

Several countries began their "air force" as a small part of the Army since no one thought airplanes would be of any value. In the US, the first pilots were organized under the branch of the Signal Corps. Later, they were separated into the Army Air Corps but still under the command of the Army. It wasn't until 1947 that the US Air Force became a separate branch.

The British were ahead of the US in creating a separate branch for the Air Force. Other countries also had their air force in a separate branch.
