The result of the proposal was This is a candidate for a page move to United States Army Air Forces, which is the correct name. -- Jpbrenna 03:30, 26 May 2005 (UTC)

Let's be clear about this, it was NOT "United States Army Air Corps". It was the "Air Corps, United States Army", just as it was the Quartermaster Corps, United States Army, and Corps of Engineers, etc. But it WAS "United States Army Air Forces".--Buckboard 03:32, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
It was requested that this article be renamed but there was no consensus for it to be moved. violet/riga (t) 12:19, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
[[United States Army Air Force]] to [[United States Army Air Forces]]. There is one official, historically correct term, used by the men who worked, flew, fought and died in the non-naval air service of the United States between 1941 and 1947 — and "United States Army Air Force" is not it! Viz.
Please inform yourself about the historically correct official terminology before voting. Jpbrenna 20:51, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Since that is what the U.S. Air Force calls the "USAAF" I support this change to "United States Air Forces". -

Date of maximum size for Heavy Bombers is lower than the maximum stated per month.
Incidentally, whatever happened to the 16th-19th air forces? -- Carnildo 03:02, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
This article has been renamed as the result of a move request. violet/riga (t) 4 July 2005 21:11 (UTC)
Is there a reason General Mitchell's name appears nowhere in this wiki? Censored even in death.
Sorry, but the USA Air Corps was NOT a "Corps Level" unit. Rather, the USAAC was what we call today an "Eschelon Above Corps" unit, or - more to the point, a Basic Branch equal with Infantry, Cavalry, etc. Actually, the USAAC was carved out of the Signal Corps after World War I. The senior officer of the AAC was known as the Branch Chief, and he was equal with the Chief of Infantry, the Chief of Cavalry, etc. What confused you was the fact that it was called the Air Corps, like the Signal Corps, the Quartermaster Corps, and the Transpoortation Corps. All of them are "Basic Branches".

The current article text says that the name Army Air Forces was adopted as the name of the service in June 1941 when the Army reorganized into three major components in anticipation of of U.S. entry into World War II. The organization of Army Ground Forces and Services of Supply (later Army Service Forces) actullay occurred in March 1942. If agreeable all around, I would to change the wording sightly as follows: The name Army Air Forces was adopted in June 1941 in anticipation of the Army's March 1942 reorganization into three major components.

I've removed the image galleries for the WWII wings, groups, and squadrons. There are WAY too many of them and most that were used were not the ones used in WWII. As a compromise I've linked to the appropriate WikiCommons pages. If one was ambitious enough a comprehensive list of wings, groups, and squadrons may be appropriate, however, even that may be too long. Ndunruh ( talk) 02:11, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
What was the name for enlisted members of the USAAF? Were they soldiers as in the U.S. Army, or were they airmen as in the US Air Force or what? Hmains ( talk) 20:24, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
The Third Air Force protects Europe, not Southeast North America. I think that may need to be fixed... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Innereye1276 ( talk • contribs) 20:35, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
