Your USAAF bike appears to me to be a post war Dayton-Huffman.I had a Western Flyer just like it but in the tri-color paint...P 8)

Looks like this one might be a Westfield Columbia Army bike according to this site:

That US AAF tag looks like the real deal. The US military used "Army Air Corps" until around 1938. After that is was "Army Air Forces" through WW2. Shortly after WW2, it changed to just "US Air Force". So, I'd say this bike is WW2 era or very shortly after.

You've got some neat finds there. Gary

I believe so, with wrong cranks, wrong head badge and a little bent fork.
