Historical Background
The United States Air Force became an independent service on September 18, 1947, and its flag was approved by President Truman on March 26, 1951. The design places the Air Force coat of arms on an ultramarine blue field: an American bald eagle over a cloud formation and a shield with a thunderbolt, encircled by thirteen white stars for the original colonies, with the words United States Air Force in a scroll beneath. The Air Force publishes its heritage and history online.
A US Air Force flag with fringe is the indoor and parade version. Outdoor flags on base poles are unfringed.
