In Response To: Re: Just checked out the Essential Visual Guide (CaptainTony) : I never really saw the purpose for a separate Air Force for the UNSC. It : would be far better suited as a subordinate "Army Air Force" or : "Naval Air Force." Seems like a waste of resources to fund : another branch that can do essentially the same job as the Navy, but on a : more localized scale. If history is anything to go by, that generally causes more problems than it solves.
Thinking about it logically, the Air Forces should actually still be significantly larger than any UNSC Navy fighter forces as there are only so many ships for them to launch from vs how many airbases each colony planet could have. So really it might not be all that different from the way the USAF and USN is right now, just replacing oceans with space.
