| OK, guys, just got a call from my Mom, and they got the headstone place on my Grandpa's grave, and it says (among other things of course) "Army", and that's it.<br/> <br/> Now, this is an assumption on my part, but shouldn't it say Air Force instead?  Again, I never asked my Grandpa which military he served in, as I ASSUMED it was teh Air Force because of what he did (obviously he was a Top Turret on the Mary Alice).<br/> <br/> So, am I missing something? Or did tehy make a mistake? Or??????? I need to know quickly, as my Mom is wanting to get this fixed (if it is a problem) ASAP!!! <br/><br/><span style='color: #0000FF'>Derrick Morris, Grandson of S/Sgt  Engr/Top Turret William "Dale" Sartor, 615th BS 401st BG, "Mary Alice"</span><br/>

| It's correct, US Army Air Corps the Air Force came later as a seperate service.  I know my uncle's headstone had 401st BG, 613th BS on it but it's in a national cemetery.<br/> <br/> Don <br/><br/>Sgt. Donald C. Byers, 613th Bomb Squadron, Togglier, 42-97344 Carrie B II, KIA 08/24/1944.<br/>

| Just to confirm what Don posted, the US Air Force didn't become independent from the US Army until 1947.<br/> <br/> During WWII, AAF personnel were members of the United States Army Air Forces, which were part of the Army Air Corps, which was part of the US Army.<br/> <br/> Hope that puts your mind at ease,<br/> Paul <br/><br/>Paul Bellamy<br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='/public/Attachments/ForumNew.MainPage/resource1.png' /><br/>
