What is the Air Force birthday date?

• A. September 18, 1947
• B. December 20, 2019
• C. July 4, 1776
• D. January 1, 1950

Answer: (A)

The date the Air Force became a separate service is September 18, 1947. This is when the National Security Act of 1947 established the United States Air Force as its own branch, separating it from the Army and replacing the Army Air Forces as the independent air arm of the military. Before that, air operations were conducted within the Army, not as an independent service. The other dates are tied to different events—July 4, 1776 is the Declaration of Independence, December 20, 2019 marks the creation of the Space Force, and January 1, 1950 does not correspond to the founding of the Air Force.
