Hispanics in the United States Air Force
Hispanics in the United States Air Force can trace their tradition of service back to the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF), the military aviation arm of the United States of America during and immediately after World War II, which was the predecessor of the United States Air Force which was formed as a separate branch of the military on September 18, 1947 under the National Security Act of 1947. Hispanic is an ethnic term employed to categorize any citizen or resident of the United States, of any racial background, of any country, and of any religion, who has at least one ancestor from the people of Spain or is of non-Hispanic origin, but has an ancestor from Mexico, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Central or South America, or some other Hispanic origin. The three largest Hispanic groups in the United States are the Mexican-Americans, Puerto Ricans, and Cubans.〔(Hispanic Population of the United States Current Population Survey Definition and Background ), United States Census Bureau, Population Division,
Ethnic & Hispanic Statistics Branch, Retrieved May 21, 2008〕 According to the U.S. Census Bureau the estimated Hispanic population of the United States is over 50 million, or 16% of the U.S. population, and Hispanics are the nation's largest ethnic minority.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Census: Latino, Asian Population Soars 43 Percent Across U.S. - New America Media )〕 The 2010 U.S. Census estimate of over 50 million Hispanics in the U.S. does ''not'' include the 3.9 million residents of Puerto Rico, thereby making the people of Hispanic origin the nation's largest ethnic or race minority as of July 1, 2005.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Infoplease by U.S. Census Bureau )〕
Hispanics, both men and women, have reached the top ranks of the Air Force, serving their country in sensitive leadership positions on domestic and foreign shores. Hispanics, however currently account for a total of 4.9% of the enlisted personnel making the United States Air Force the military branch with the lowest average of Hispanic recruits.
==Prelude to World War II==
Before the United States entered World War II, Hispanic Americans were already fighting on European soil in the Spanish Civil War. The Spanish Civil War was a major conflict in Spain that started after an attempted ''coup d'état'' by parts of the army, led by the Nationalist General Francisco Franco, against the government of the Second Spanish Republic. Hispanic Americans fought on behalf of both of the factions involved, the "Nationalists" as members of the Spanish Army and the "Loyalists" (Republicans) either as members of the Abraham Lincoln International Brigade〔(Latinos who fought in Spain ). Retrieved on November 12, 2007.〕 or as aviators in the Yankee Squadron led by Bert Acosta (1895–1954).〔(Bert Acosta ), Retrieved December 6, 2010〕
