Scope and Content Note The papers of Ira Clarence Eaker (1896-1987) span the years 1917-1989, with a large portion concentrated in the World War II period, 1942-1945. The papers consist of two parts processed at different times which document two distinct phases of Eaker's life. Part I treats Eaker's military career in the United States Army Air Corps (1918-1947). Part II relates to Eaker's activities after leaving the military, including those as an aviation industry executive, spokesman for the air force and air power, and as a syndicated newspaper columnist who wrote and lectured on national security issues. Eaker maintained contact with military associates throughout his life, and the themes of air power, aviation, and belief in a strong national defense are prominent throughout the collection. Part I Part I of Eaker's papers documents nearly every aspect of his long career in the United States Army Air Corps and is especially comprehensive for the World War II years, when Eaker organized and commanded the Eighth Bomber Command

    Air Force Association 1501 Lee Highway, Arlington, Virginia 22209-1198 (703) 247-5800 An Independent Non Profit Aerospace Organization MONROE W. HATCH, JR. Executive Director August 24, 1994 Dr. Martin Harwit Director National Air and Space Museum Smithsonian Institution Washington, DC 20560 Dear Martin: I received your letter of August 23 and was somewhat surprised. While you rightly point out that the Air Force Association has not provided you with a list containing “line-in, line-out” points of criticism on your last two scripts, I believe we have, from the start, provided substantive comments on what is wrong with your current plans – both in private and in public. The problems associated with this exhibit are not simply minor problems of language or technical issues – they are structural and more fundamental in nature, and, to date, they have not been addressed by the museum. While we are pleased that you have received the kind of “line-in, line-out” comments provided by the service historians and others who have undertaken a “technical” review of the script, the issues of context and balance need to be addressed on the “broad” structural and conceptual levels. For instance, you yourself wrote in an April 16 memorandum to your curators that two-thirds of the photos of death and suffering should be removed from section 400. You also said that pictures of American prisoners of war should be included in that section, but the curators apparently ignored your direction in preparing the May 31 script. We have pointed out the overall imbalance in terms of the number of photos in different sections, and have pointed out issues related to context by citing some of the most egregious examples of the underlying theme that the Japanese were victims and the Americans aggressors in World War II.
