Chuck Yeager on Twitter: "September 17, 1947, the Army Air Corps became the United States Air Force. I had 10 or so test programs along with the XS-1 so I was pretty busy during this time. I was married, had two kids, another on the way. @USArmy @usairforce @HISTORY #X1 @AviationWeek @CBSThisMorning"

  My father trained as a navigator in the Army Air Corps but left in 1946. Still can’t imagine how you did all this with paper, pencil, visual telemetry - especially at night.

  You're older than the Air Force. Quite a feat.

  My father became part of the newly created USAF on that very day too! (Among other things, he went on to help stand up Amarillo Air Force base, when the Cold War was in full swing.)
