This book traces the history of the office of the Chief Scientist of the Air Force over its 50 years, including remembrances from those who filled the position. It illuminates changes that have occurred over the years, as the country moved from peace to war and back, as national security demands of the Air Force evolved, and as reorganizations and power shifts have taken place within the service and the Department of Defense. It shows that the primary purpose of the office, to provide objective and timely advice to Air Force senior leadership on science and technology, has remained constant throughout.
