The U.S. Army, a subdivision of the U.S. Department of War, conducted aero activities from 1861. Many of these fell under the auspices of the U.S. Army Signal Corps.
This chart printed in the 26 July 1917 Air Service Journal might clarify how aviation in the Army was organized. Practically, aviation falls under the auspices of the Signal Corps, led by Chief Signal Officer George O. Squier. Relavant advisory boards including the Aircraft Production Board are listed at the top.
