Note: Be advised that these articles are personal accounts only, and that the Foundation has not subjected them to professional review. As such, the articles may contain normal errors caused by lapses of memory and lack of research. Anyone seeking to distribute these articles further must please keep that in mind.
Submissions are accepted for consideration by the Foundation at: execdir@afhistoricalfoundation.org. Stories may be edited for clarity and length.
Additional documentation on Air Force history – including papers, presentations and the Air Power History magazine – is available in the password protected members-only area of the Air Force Historical Foundation Website. To become a part of the Foundation, see our Membership page.
