I’m not an expert on the history of the air force, but I would say very early operations could be covered by the necessary and proper clause as incident to the army forces. Thinks like early reconnaisance missions under direct command of army operations. But by the time the air force had its own chain of command, its own regulations, and its own line item on the federal budget, it was unconstitutional.
