Book Description
The co-sponsor of this symposium series, the Department of History at the U.S. Air Force Academy, has had a special commitment since its inception in 1954 to the teaching of the history of air power. For many years, however, the very limited amount of scholarly work in this field has hampered the effective teaching of the subject at the Academy and elsewhere and stymied proposals to present a symposium on the topic. Then, as the 75th Anniversary of the Wright Brothers' flight approached, scholarly efforts began to increase. Enough American and foreign scholars, both civilian and military; and some of the surviving shapers of the history of air power could now be brought together at least, as a minimum, to assess what has been done and to stimulate new work. In the event, the contributors to this volume have gone well beyond the minimum by providing herein a collection of essays, commentaries, and reminiscences that should enhance both the teaching and the public understanding of the record and potential of air power. Furthermore, future researchers and writers will appreciate the conscientious work of scholarly commentators who responded especially well to the invitation to identify the work yet to be done. The symposium committee structured this event so as to deal with the topic within as broad a framework as a two-day meeting would permit. Thus, the sweep of the papers extends chronologically from a study of British views on air power even before 1903 through a major pioneer's perceptions of the future role of air power in the defense of the United States and its allies. Geographically, the participants on the program addressed the air power record on three continents, specifically dealing with the experiences of six nations. To make the most of the available time, the planners began the symposium with an evening lecture and experimented with simultaneous sessions during the next two days. While there was the inevitable disappointment among our more than 250 attendees from outside the Academy, as well as among the members of the Academy community, at not being able to hear each of the speakers, the editors believe that these published proceedings will justify the experiment. In addition, they sought to round out these proceedings by inviting comments from individuals not on the program about topics a volume such as this should at least mention.

Book Description
This highly selective bibliography supplements the original bibliography developed in 1978 by Ms. Betsy C. Kysely, to support the Eighth Military History Symposium While this bibliography focuses primarily on materials published since the earlier bibliography was developed, it does include some significant materials that were published prior to 1978, but that were omitted from that edition. Emphasis in this supplement is on scholarly analysis of air power itself and scholarly depictions of its history. Like most editions of the United State Air Force Academy Directorate of Libraries' publication, Special Bibliography Series, this compilation is limited to current holdings of the Academic Library at the Academy. It includes books, reports, government documents, and journal articles. Excluded are pictorial works, newspaper articles, works of fiction, studies of the technology of aircraft and associated weaponry, and items focused on the general history of aviation. Readers wanting information on the history of aviation, certainly prior to the Wright Brothers, are encouraged to consult the U S. Air Force Academy Friends of the Library publication, The Genesis of Flight: The Aeronautical History Collection of Colonel Richard Gimbel.

Book Description
The proceedings of the Eighth Military History Symposium at the United States Air Force Academy, held on the 75th anniversary of powered flight. During those seventy-five years air power has played an ever-expanding role in warfare. There was a time when the visionaries of the air arm preached with some fervor the idea that the airplane invalidated the old principles of war. After several wars and the integration of air power into the strategies of peace, we can now include the visions with the actual experience of air power.
