Professionally converted for accurate flowing-text e-book format reproduction, this unique and informative monograph presents the results of a gathering of notable civilian and military personnel in a symposium to celebrate the United States Air Force's fiftieth anniversary. Among the papers presented were those covering individual reminiscences and the results of historical research encompassing not only the germinal Army Air Service but also futuristic aerospace concepts.
The symposium celebrated the technical and operational achievements and the leaders of those years and their predecessors. The papers delivered during the symposium offer glimpses into the history of the United States' air arm during the twentieth century. The reminiscences of the great airmen and civilian leaders who participated give human coloration to that story. The Air Force History and Museums Program hopes that the proceedings collected in this volume will prove of value as an introduction to the service and its history.
