Talk:Army Air Corps

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Dab notes

I'm currently disambiguating links to this page. In the process I added several links here, including the predecessors to the United States Army Air Corps. This is because Americans use the phrase "Army Air Corps" for all predecessors of the United States Air Force. For the period 1941-1947 I can't even tell whether [[United States Army Air Corps]] or [[United States Army Air Forces]] is the right link, so I'm going with the former (since that's what the earlier editor seemed to think). For references prior to 1926, I'm trying to use the correct name. See this example where the text said "In 1917 he joined the Army Air Corps".

If I am finding links to redirect to these other places, then surely more such links will be created in the future. Aviation Section, U.S. Signal Corps belongs on this page because people say "Army Air Corps" when they mean "Aviation Section, U.S. Signal Corps".  Randall Bart   Talk  02:56, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] When did the US Army first use the designation Army Air Corps

I was editing Erwin R. Bleckley and since he died in WWI, I changed all references to "Air Corps" to "Air Service". Then I noticed I had changed the header text of an MoH citation, so I changed it back. Unfortunately I am now terribly confused. Did the US Army use the term "Army Air Corps" during WWI?  Randall Bart   Talk  19:26, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
