Founded in 1926, the U.S. Army Air Corps launched the modern air combat movement, leading to the creation of the U.S. Air Force in 1947. Earning acclaim for their performance throughout World War II, Army Air Corps aces served valiantly in every theater, employing superior skill to engage and defeat the enemy. Their inspiring commitment to excellence is carried forth by today's Air Force personnel, who demonstrate the same courage and bold character as their predecessors. This specially designed set contains a single brass tie tack, imbued with full color enamel, accompanied by a pair of matching brass cufflinks. All three pieces feature an historically accurate and detailed rendering of the Army Air Corps emblem. Encased in a plush-lined, leatherette presentation box, this attractive set makes an ideal gift for all Army and Air Force pilots, history buffs, or aviation enthusiasts.
