The air force was established in September 1947. The National Security Act of 1947 set up the air force. Once known as the part of the army and called the air army unit it was separated and established to create a separate and equal element to the military. It is believed that funds were lacking for the units in air army and by separating and creating it's own identity it could be set up to receive monies from the US government for personnel and for building equipment.

A person who was enlisted in an army (or other military organization, such as a navy or air force) and who fought in a war, is therefore a war veteran. If you happened to get caught up in the fighting in some way but you were not actually a member of an official armed force, then you are just a victim of a war, rather than a veteran of it.

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.

No, you cannot separate two hemispheres by sucking out the air from between them. The force keeping the hemispheres together is atmospheric pressure acting on the outside of the hemispheres, not the air inside.
