AAF is Army air force, the air force was part of the army until about 1946-47 ask away and I will try if you have the discharge papers, do you have a DD-214? this is a status of his military career as of his last service date.

Does anyone have any idea how to read them? Under the Branch of Service it says AAF. Is that American Air Force? I am trying to obtain a Government FootMarker for his grave. Thanks.
