The Army Air Force began as a sub-department of the Signal Corps then rapdily advanced to a Corps of its own. The Army Air Corps was essential to the Allied victories of WW1 and WW2, and sustained the largest number of casualties than the Navy, Regular Army and Marine Corps during WW2. Although a medal was approved for the non-combat Womens Army Corps during WW2 (the only Army Corps with its own medal) the United States Congress has yet to establish a medal for the Army Air Corps which engaged in more combat hours than the Army infantry branch of WW2. Current statistics estimate that the largest number of WW2 veterans alive today (2008) are Army Air Corps veterans. And it is estimated that the last surviving American of WW2 will quite probably be an Army Air Corps veteran.
