the army's foresight and industry had been building air power for 40 years. in 1947, the army air forceved its greatest tribute. it became the united states air force. now from experimental labs and drawing boards there came yet another aviation miracle. the jet. after many years of study and research, jet powered aircraft was a reality. more powerful than any plane previously conceived, the jet opened up a new vista in aviation progress. by october 1947, a milestone had been passed. a test ship became the first aircraft to crash the sound barrier. it reached a speed of 780 miles an hour, already obsolete. this ship is now on exhibit at the smithsonian institute. from such research came a host of modern air force jets. this is the f-84 thunder jet which went into mass production in 1948. one of the earliest jet fighters, it was also one of the best. fast, maneuverable, heavily armed and deadly, these f-84s packed a real punch. jet bombers came right along with the fighters. first accepted was the b-45 tornado, powered by four engines with a top speed of over 500 miles an hour. next came
