Air Power History
Air Power History chronicles the great campaigns, the leaders, the successes and the failures of air forces in the past. Eyewitness accounts and historical articles will capture your interest, issue after issue. Regular features will keep you up-to-date on new books, museum exhibits and meetings.
Latest issue: Winter 2011
The Winter 2011 edition of Air Power History is led by Joseph Kurtenbach’s account of life behind enemy lines during World War II, centering on the author’s own grandfather – Technical Sergeant Kenneth Kurtenbach – who was captured by the German Gestapo in 1942 and held as a prisoner of war in Austria.
Continuing the “biography” theme, this issue also features extensive articles on controversial military strategist Col. John R. Boyd and Gen. Samuel C. Phillips, who was a driving force behind some of America’s most important aerospace initiatives – including the Minuteman intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) and NASA’s Apollo Program.
In addition, the Winter 2011 issue of Air Power History includes the latest installment of Robert F. Dorr’s “History Mystery” column, 20 new book reviews and a photo report covering the Air Force Historical Foundation’s successful 2011 Symposium, held in November.
