1 - Air Force Day was established on August 1, 1947, by President Truman.
Air Force Day was last observed on August 1, 1949

2 - A white flag is used as a symbol of truce, or to give up, because it symbolizes untouched purity. The color white has long been used in religious ceremonies over the world as a sign of goodwill and innocence. Because of this image, white has become universally known as a sign of peace.
