In the preamble of the Constitution of the United States, it states clearly that the Government must " Provide for the common defense " of the United States of America.
The Air force is part of our common defense.
Yes, there was no such thing as any air force at that time.
However, through generations, through generations, technology has allowed us to engage in war and the use of technology.

"However, through generations, through generations, technology has allowed us to engage in war and the use of technology."
And Jefferson, innovator that he was, would have used the Air Force if it had existed against the Barbary Pirates.
