AIR FORCE FLAG - NYLON OR POLYESTER

The history of the United States Air Force flag is closely intertwined with the evolution of the U.S. Air Force itself. The Air Force was officially established as an independent branch of the U.S. military on September 18, 1947, with the passage of the National Security Act of 1947. Prior to that, it had been a part of the U.S. Army as the Army Air Forces.

The flag of the U.S. Air Force was introduced shortly after its establishment, and it was officially adopted on August 1, 1951. The design of the flag features a blue field with the U.S. Air Force emblem at its center, which consists of a white star and a yellow circle enclosed by a white and yellow contrail. The flag's design reflects the Air Force's mission to fly, fight, and win in air, space, and cyberspace. It symbolizes the Air Force's commitment to air and space superiority and global reach, and it is used to represent the service at various official events, ceremonies, and installations.

Over the years, the U.S. Air Force flag has become an emblem of the branch's proud history and its role in safeguarding the nation's skies and space domains.
