In September 1947, proposed drawings of the Air Force Seal were first exhibited in the office of the Secretary of the Air Force. Later, a conference of approximately 30 top-ranking Air Force general officers considered the preferred one. After several different proposals, the final drawing of the Department of the Air Force Seal was completed in the Office of the Quartermaster General, Department of the Army, and approved by Harry S. Truman, President of the United States, on 1 November 1947 and officially adopted on 26 March 1951.
How are you supposed to fly the Air Force Flag with the American Flag?
If you are flying the Air Force and American flags on the same pole, the American flag should be on the top and larger than the Air Force flag.
