Book Description
The indomitable spirit and courage of America’s flyers goes back to the Wright Brothers’ first flights in 1903. Since then, Billy Mitchell, Jimmy Doolittle, Chuck Yeager, and countless other men and women have answered America’s call to defend the nation and its allies from the sky. Now, more than 50 years after its founding, the United States Air Force is celebrated in a stunning, lavishly illustrated volume published in conjunction with the Air Force Historical Foundation. Building on official Air Force chronologies, and containing more than 500 color and 1,000 black-and-white photographs, the book presents an encyclopedic, year-by-year summary of Air Force activities, from the early years of flight to Operation Iraqi Freedom. Key historical entries, as well as significant operations, technological advances, and the people instrumental in shaping the Air Force, are featured in expanded sidebar articles written by experts in each subject.
Reader Reviews
This is quite possibly the ultimate U.S. Air Force History book. It is written under the general guidence of Lt. Col Dik Alan Daso, USAF (Ret), Curator of Modern Military Aircraft National Air and Space Museum. The individual contributors, some 35 in number vary from retired military, professional historians, librarians, and more. All in all, individual experts to write on particular subjects of interest. This is a large format book, and it contains a lot of pages. It begins with the first flights taken by the military in balloons and concludes with operations in Iraq. The book is arranged like a diary, with significant events in chronological order. A particular point of interest is the little pictures of the medals of honor won on those dates, along with a description of the actions of the winner. In addition there are periodic two page spreads that describe significant activities, technical advantages, or historical points of interst regarding the Air Force. It's a beautiful book, one that belongs in every military library.
