In 1947 the US Air Force separated from the US Army. In 1950 the US Army received it's FIRST fixed-wing airplane since the USAF went it's own separate way. The airplane was an all-metal top winged artillery observation plane which was named the O-1 Bird Dog. The "Dog" fought it's first war in Korea in 1950 as the L-19 (L=Liaison); then it's last war in Vietnam as the O-1 (O=Observation). In 1964 the US Army was directed by the DOD (Dept. of Defense) to transfer all of it's fixed-wing aircraft to the USAF...as the US Army transitioned to a rotor-wing force (Helicopter Force).
