	United States Air Force
		The Eighth Air Force had attempted to use both the P-47 and P-38 as escorts, but while the Thunderbolt was a capable dog-fighter it lacked the range, even with the addition of drop tanks to extend its range, and the Lightning proved mechanically unreliable in the frigid altitudes at which the missions were fought.
		The USAF modernized its tactical air forces in the late 1970's with the introduction of the F-15, A-10, and F-16 fighters, and the implementation of realistic training scenarios under the aegis of Red Flag.
		The Air Force is managed by the Department of the Air Force lead by the Secretary of the Air Force (SECAF), and consisting of the Air Staff and field units.

	The Cultural Indentity of the United States Air Force (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The manner in which the Air Force was created sets it apart from the other services; while the others were created when the nation was born, the Air Force started as branch of the Army, and airmen waged political battles for its independence.
		Initial Air Force values were based on the belief that independent operations conducted by strategic bombers were the key to winning World War II, leading to a perspective that was very different from that of the Army or Navy.
		Air Force leaders should recognize that some problems they face after a major change in the security environment may be caused in part by a lack of understanding of the Air Force’s role.
