Based on the planes, I believe they are actually Army Air Force Tankers (birth of the AF I believe is 1948) lol.

LTC Greg Henning, I've always liked the fact that the world's first military airplane was an airplane purchased from the Wright Brothers by the U.S. Army SIGNAL CORPS on August 2, 1909! That's the true beginning of the U.S. Air Force! TSgt Joe C. Maj Marty Hogan LTC Orlando Illi Sgt Randy Wilber CPL Dave Hoover
