Historical Context
The United States Army Air Forces, commonly abbreviated as USAAF or AAF, was established on 20 June 1941 as the principal air organisation within the United States Army. During the Second World War, it developed into a major military force operating fighter aircraft, bombers, transport aircraft and extensive training organisations. On 18 September 1947, the United States Air Force officially became an independent branch of the United States armed forces.
The design featured on this mug refers to this remarkable period of American aviation history, making it a distinctive item for collectors, re-enactors and military aviation enthusiasts.
