I don't have to do a Google search on this. That's very interesting 
since the French have been know for a lot of things but their Air Force 
was not one. General Billy Mitchell would be interested to know that the 
Army was not interested in air power since he headed up the Army Air 
Corps (what later became the US Air Force) in the first world war.

I think the US got the idea of flying just fine since it's the greatest 
air power in the world.
