iii, [7],97, [1] pages. Illustrations. Glossary. Index. Cover has slight wear and soiling. This work was to be part of the now-defunct Warrior Series. In 1982 General Lew Allen, Jr. called for "the continuing study of military history, combat leadership, the principles of war, and particularly the applications of air power." The USAF community can benefit from such study and reflection. Professor Kohn's focus has been American military history, emphasizing national security and military policy, strategy, the American experience with war-making, and the connections between war, the military, and American society. His concentration has been on current civil-military relations, particularly civilian control of the military. His long-term projects are studies of presidential war leadership in American history and the American experience of war, but he continues to research, consult, lecture, and publish in the area of contemporary civil-military relations, military professionalism, and professional military education. This Senior Statesmen seminar, held at Boiling Air Force Base, in 1985, explored the research, development, and acquisition process in the United States Air Force. In particular, the discussion sought to elicit how that process evolved, whether or not it had been successful, why it changed, and what have been the major influences upon it. Readers will note that the discussion proceeds chronologically and topically from the Early Days through the post-World War II era to the 1970s and 1980s. The seminar was essentially a group interview conducted by Dr. Richard H. Kohn, Chief, Office of Air Force History, with senior military commanders and others involved in Air Force research and development. Participants were General Bernard A. Schriever, Lt. General James H. Doolittle, General Samuel C. Phillips, General Robert T. Marsh, and Dr. Ivan A. Getting. The monograph is divided into the following sections: The Early Years, World War II, Post World War II, The 1950s, The 1960s, and The 1970s and 1980s.…
