Cool USA Air Force comrade vet pilots

Does it Work: USA Air Force comrade vet pilots?

Is it better USA Air Force comrades vets pilots?

Is it better USA Air Force comrade pilot vets, or pilots vets?

How'd you say it in this contracted form?

Thank You

USAF or US Air Force

What are you trying to express? That there is a group of air force veterans?

Yes, when young they were very friends, US Air Force pilots during WWII

How about "US Air Force vet(s) pilot(s) comrades?

Thank You

I don't think you need all three terms - vets/pilots/comrades. It's a bit overkill.

WW2/Second World War US Air Force veterans who were comrades says all you need to say.
