	The Royal Flying Corps 1914-1918
		The RFC was formed in April 1912 as the military (army and navy) began to recognise the potential for aircraft as observation platforms.
		As air armament developed the dangers to aircrew increased markedly and by the end of the war the loss rate was 1 in 4 killed, a similar proportion to the infantry losses in the trenches.
		He convinced the Army Commander-in-Chief, General Haig, of the contribution of the air service and won his support for the expansion of the RFC in France (against the competing pressures for home defence and a long range bombing force, which ironically, Trenchard was later to command).

	The Aircraft
		In November 1963, DC/S (Air) reported that "the Army is very enthused with the [UH-IB/Dl as a light weapons fire system," and suggested that 12 aircraft in each VMO should be converted into armed helicopters.
		The Air Force held that only its fixed-wing aircraft were suitable for close air support and helicopter escort.
		Throughout the conflict in Vietnam, the Marine Corps continued to maintain a balance of weapons which were capable of performing anywhere in the world under almost any conceivable circumstance.

	A Guide to United States Air Force Lineage and Honors (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Air Force Instruction 38-101, "Air Force Organization," defines the squadron as "the basic unit of the Air Force." A squadron may be either a functional organization, such as a maintenance, communications, or transportation squadron, or a mission organization such as a flying, space, or missile squadron.
		Each list shows only those components at the first subordinate echelon; the list does not show subordinate squadrons of an assigned or attached organization because these squadrons were not directly assigned.
		Aircraft are listed by series and number (e.g., F-86 or EC-135), but normally not by model (e.g., B-52H or KC-135A).

	2005 Base Closure Recommendations
		Recent reports are that the Army wants to expand little-used Camp Zama in Japan to house a major headquarters in the Pacific; I Corps would move there and absorb 8th Army from Korea and some elements from Shafter and Alaska.
		The average Air Force base is less than half the size of a typical Army, Navy or Marine Corps base (based on active duty population).
		If the Air Force remains, it may retain some housing as Anacostia becomes a "joint" annex, while the rest of Bolling is transferred to other federal government agencies or to the District of Columbia.

	Amazon.com: Patton's Air Force: Forging a Legendary Air-Ground Team: Books: David N. Spires (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Spires writes that Weyland had to deviate from army air corps doctrine which stated that TAC operation had to be centralized rather he allowed his command to be decentralized due to the chaotic nature of the Western Front in the summer of 1944.
		Spires is slightly critical of Weyland for using too many aircraft as air protection of bases after the Luftwaffe attacked XIX TAC's air fields during the Battle of the Bulge, Spires believes that XIX TAC could have been put more assets in close air support missions and interdiction rather than air defense.
		The army air force liason officer could call the armed reconnaissance TAC squadrons to reccomend air strikes immediately rather the having the missions approved at XIX TAC headquarters.
