United States Army Air Corps

The United States Army Air Corps was a division of the Army of the United States of America during the early 20th century, which concentrated mainly on aerial operations and early aerospace developments. On September 18, 1947, the duties of the Army Air Corps were transferred to the newly-created United States Air Force, and the Corps disbanded.

Dr. Arthur Truman held a commission in the Army Air Corps while working on the Manhattan Project in the 1940s, and was stationed with them in London. 

In 1947, Army Air Corps Captain James Wainwright supervised the recovery of the Ferengi shuttle Quark's Treasure and its passengers.
