I think it whould be better to use the Army theme song if it is the US. ARMY Not the Air force

Hi, mario5157. This WAS originally the Army Air Corps song. There was no U.S. Air Force during World War II. Then when the Air Force was established in 1947, they took their song with them. Cheers, John

@bestjonbon You missed mario5157's point... The song in this video says "Nothing can stop the US Air Force." That is the US Air Force song... The original Army Air Corps version says "Nothing can stop the Army Air Corps."

Hi, planeguy141. Good point. But hard to find the old version.

U.S. Army Air Corps use Spitfire ???

[bestjonbon]

No, no Spitfires here. A few Yanks volunteered and flew Spits before the U.S. got into the war, but not after.

@bestjonbon ACTUALLY, the USAAC flew spits in North Africa

@bestjonbon Actually, a few US fighter groups did fly Spitfires on some rare occasions.

@planeguy141 My Daddy was a pilot in WWII and I learned the song with "Nothing can stop the Army Air Corps" and I still sing it that way...just for you, Daddy...:)
