Mexican President Plutarco Elías Calles published the vile Calles Law, effective July 31, which banned religious education, foreign priests and political commentary in religious publications, seizing church property and holding that worship could only be conducted inside of churches and under the supervision of local officials

The United States Army Air Corps was established as an expansion of the United States Army Air Service that had been created on May 24, 1918. It was not, however, an independent service, nor did it enjoy the level of autonomy of the Navy's Marine Corps. Nor should it have. . . even to the present day.
