Happy 67th birthday of the United States Air Force! Since its creation on Sept. 18, 1947, the Air Force's men and women have continued a tradition of integrity, service, excellence, innovation, courage, compassion, honor and sacrifice. Though Sept. 18, 1947, is seen as the official birth of the Air Force as we know it today, the truth is that the Air Force has a rich history that can be traced as far back as to the Civil War with the Union Army Balloon Corps. Hancock Field (174th Attack Wing) has served as an important military asset since shortly after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Each and every Airman is critical in ensuring our superiority in air, space and cyberspace. Today’s Air Force is comprised of more than 680,000 Airmen, made up of active duty, reservists, guardsmen and civilians, who support more than 5,600 aircraft, 450 intercontinental ballistic missiles and 63 satellites. Today's Air Force is the world's preeminent air, space and cyberspace force with an ability to rapidly adapt to uncertainty, ensuring future success.
