[edit] Split

I'll start. I support a split. I am plodding my way through the older forerunners of the USAF and re-writing the U.S. Army Air Service article now. I will move to the USAAC next, and when finished, the element regarding the current organization will be more of a footnote.--Buckboard 09:51, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

A split seems logical; as the original USAAC and the modern AAC are two different entities. Greenshed 16:41, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

USAAC also stands for US Army Accessions Command...

Agree on split. These two vastly different organizations exist or existed years apart and only share the same name, thereby adding confusion to this page. Split them and make Wikipedia a better resource for learning about these historically unrelated topics. Jack Bethune 17:16, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Agree on split. But what do we name the article on the current AAC? Army Air Corps is already taken by the British Army AAC. Army Air Corps (US) perhaps? The article on the historical United States Army Air Corps should remain that, with a disambiguation link to the new article, since this is the name it is most known by. If we can agree on a new name, I'll go ahead and split them up, since this is a stub anyway. -- BillCJ 18:34, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Support - I think that USAAF and USAAC should be separate articles. The current organization is called Army Aviation or Aviation Branch and hasn't formally been anything except "aviation" since early in WWII (circa 1942) until it was formally recognized as a separate Branch (akin to Infantry and Artillery) within the United States Army in 1983. --Born2flie 04:29, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

I'll add. My Dad, Chris Gagomiros, from Bronx, NY was Army Air Corps. Any body know him back then> I am his youngest son, E. Chris Gagomiros. dahgreek@yahoo.com Thank you.
