	General Headquarters Air Force, 1935
		The emergence of the heavy bomber in 1935 coincided with the advent of the General Headquarters (GHQ) Air Force.
		The idea of an "air force," separate from the support aviation assigned to the Army units, had been urged by Major General Mason Patrick and his successor, Major General James Fechet, Chief of the Air Corps from 1927 to 1931.
		However, the growing importance of coastal defense provided the Air Corps with a mission that could be performed independently of the ground armies, thus helping pave the way for the GHQ Air Force.

		A study of the "Cope India" air exercise, conducted by the US and Indian air forces in Gwalior, India last February, is secret, said General Hal Hornburg, head of the air force's Air Combat Command.

		The Inspector General must have a horse allowed him and some soldiers to attend him and all the rest commanded to obey and assist, or else the service will suffer; for he is but one man and must correct many, and therefore he cannot be beloved.

		Consequently, Inspectors General at all levels are using practical and innovative techniques to measure "what's important." As the Air Force continues to drawdown, the ORI will remain a vital part of the IG system.

	Navy or Air force? - Armchair General Forums
		Understand that in the Air Force, unless you are a pilot, you suffer from at least some version of class discrimination.
		Also keep in mind though, that while hierarchical, the Air Force is somewhat more relaxed in the rank structure (at least in flying operations) because you have officers and enlisted mixed together because of their job.
		The Air Force is the most "civilianized" of the branches.
