Yep. You are right.

The Army Air Corps did. I met a former crew member (a rancher nearly 20 years ago) and enjoyed listening to his stories about the experience. Very interesting.

You’re right. My Dad was a bombardier in a B-24 as a member of the Army Air Corps. He resigned as a reservist in 1956 when it was the Air Force.
