The Air Force Handbook, converted for accurate flowing-text ebook format reproduction, is a comprehensive reference sourcebook about the systems and equipment of the USAF: airplanes, war planes, fighter jets, bombers, cargo aircraft, helicopters, weapons, bombs, missiles, munitions, rockets, satellites, ground stations and systems, control networks, communications equipment, AWACS, Joint Stars, installation locations, glossary of terms and acronyms, systems by contractor, and much more.

This book is designed for clear and easy reference to critical information about Air Force systems. TITLE: All systems are in alphabetical order. MISSION: How the system benefits Airmen, combatant commanders, support personnel, and the overall achievement of Air Force strategies. CONTRACTORS: A listing of prime and subcontractors. DESCRIPTION: A general explanation of the system and its key capabilities. SPECIFICATIONS: A listing of technical and functional parameters. ACQUISITION STATUS: The status of the system program, including the locations assigned, the current inventory, and a listing of key future upgrades to the system. OPERATIONAL ROLES: The Air Force is leveraging its core strategic capabilities—Global Power, Global Reach, Global Vigilance, and Agile Combat Support—to ensure joint air, space, and cyberspace dominance; strengthen joint warfighting capabilities; and implement Total Force Integration.
