Shermer OFFICE OF AIR FORCE HISTORY UNITED STATES AIR FORCE WASHINGTON, D.'C., 198~ .. .~~ Certain sections of this guide contain titles which, when taken together, reveal classified infor­ mation, although individual titles are unclassified. Each section containing classified information is marked appropriately. Sections which are wholly unclassified are unmarked. This page is unclassified. 11 Foreword The Guide to Air Force Historical Literature, 1943-1983, is a compre­ hensive listing of histories, monographs, chronologies, and special studies issued by the Office of Air Force History and historical offices throughout the Air Force. It excludes the periodic (monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, annual) com­ mand and unit histories. The primary purpose of the Guide is to bring together all of the writings of the Air Force History Program in one convenient bibliog­ raphy. We believe this is a valuable resource for commanders and staffs, for it includes a wide variety of studies on how the Air Force carried out planning, operations, research, logistical activities and a host of other important opera­ tional and support functions in the past. These studies address a wide variety of issues and problems. They can provide insight into "why things are the way they are," as well as what worked and what did not, and the reasons why. Such information is invaluable to those responsible for today's plans and op­ erations. At the very least, used wisely, the historical information in these studies will help Air Force people make informed decisions and avoid repeat­ ing past mistakes. While it aids planners and operators, the Guide will also be of great value to Air Force historians by informing them of their colleagues' work and pro­ viding a listing of classified and unclassified histories for official research. The Guide will help the historian in his or her efforts to assist the commander and his staff. The entries have been supplied by the command histo~ians, arranged in the Guide under the name of the producing organization, and listed chrono­ logically by year of issue. To assist in finding an item, a brief lineage of the commands and their organizations precedes the entries. Each separate com­ mand is identified by a letter of the alphabet, and each entry includes the title, security classification, author, date of issue, and number of pages. Under Sec­ tion B, we have added the Contemporary Historical· Examination of Current Operations (CHECO) series produced between 1964 and 1979, some 1,870 studies which detail air operations in Southeast Asia. Also contained in the Guide are separate author, title, and subject indexes. Access to the studies listed in this Guide can be obtained by contacting the appropriate historical office directly. (See USAF Historical Program Per­ sonnel Directory.) The USAF Historical Research Center at Maxwell Air 111 Force Base, Alabama, may also have copies on microfilm. Researchers are advised that classified information can only be released to those who possess the requisite security clearances and demonstrate a "need to know." Some histories may have been omitted inadvertently. We encourage com­ mand historians to bring any omissions to the attention of the Office of Air Force History. It is also important that any change in classification be com­ municated to the Office as soon as possible. An addendum to the Guide will be issued annually. RICHARD H. KOHN Chief, Office of Air Force History IV Acknowledgments This publication is based on tbe Guide to Monographic literature. 1941­ 1974, prepared by Jacob Neufeld, who suggested expanding the edition to include all USAF historical literature. Lt. K.enneth Schaffel collected lists of new material from the major USAF organizations, and Anne E. Shermer developed the format of the publication. The security classification was accom­ plished with the support. of Maj. John Kreis and Grant Hales. Ann Caudle gave the manuscript a thorough oopyediti~carefully correcting the inconsis­ tencies. The editors owe the greatest debt to the many individuals in the his­ tory offices throughout the USAF who diligently submitted new entries and then patiently checked and rechecked their listin~. Without this support from field historians, the Office of Air Force History could not have compiled this important historical research toot Contents Page Foreword iii Acknowledgments v Monographs and Studies A.

  • 90 Years of Flight Test in the Miami Valley
    in the MiamiValley History Offke Aeronautical Systems Center Air Force Materiel Command ii FOREWORD Less than one hundred years ago, Lord Kelvin, the most prominent scientist of his generation, remarked that he had not “the smallest molecule of faith’ in any form of flight other than ballooning. Within a decade of his damningly pessimistic statement, the Wright brothers were routinely puttering through the skies above Huffman Prairie, pirouetting about in their frail pusher biplanes. They were there because, unlike Kelvin, they saw opportunity, not difficulty, challenge, not impossibility. And they had met that challenge, seized that opportunity, by taking the work of their minds, transforming it by their hands, making a series of gliders and, then, finally, an actual airplane that they flew. Flight testing was the key to their success. The history of flight testing encompassesthe essential history of aviation itself. For as long as humanity has aspired to fly, men and women of courage have moved resolutely from intriguing concept to practical reality by testing the result of their work in actual flight. In the eighteenth and nineteenth century, notable pioneers such asthe French Montgolfier brothers, the German Otto Lilienthal, and the American Octave Chanute blended careful study and theoretical speculation with the actual design, construction, and testing of flying vehicles. Flight testing reallycame ofage with the Wright bro!hers whocarefullycombined a thorough understanding of the problem and potentiality of flight with-for their time-sophisticated ground and flight-test methodolo- gies and equipment. After their success above the dunes at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina on December 17,1903, the brothers determined to refine their work and generate practical aircraft capable of routine operation.

Michigan Avenue Chicago, Illinois 60616 [email protected] www.thehistorymakers.com Creator: Gomer, Joseph Title: The HistoryMakers® Video Oral History Interview with Joseph Gomer, Dates: August 12, 2002 Bulk Dates: 2002 Physical Description: 4 Betacam SP videocassettes (1:48:08). Abstract: Tuskegee airman Joseph Gomer (1920 - ) was a fighter pilot in 99th Pursuit Squadron of the Tuskegee Airmen. Gomer was interviewed by The HistoryMakers® on August 12, 2002, in Duluth, Minnesota. This collection is comprised of the original video footage of the interview. Identification: A2002_140 Language: The interview and records are in English. Biographical Note by The HistoryMakers® Retired United States Air Force Major Joseph Philip Gomer served as a fighter pilot with World War II's famed Tuskegee Airmen. Gomer was born on June 20, 1920 in Iowa Falls, Iowa. From the time he was a small boy, he dreamed of flying airplanes. Gomer and his brother attended school in a town where there were never more than three black families. The only black in his class, Gomer graduated from Iowa Falls High School with honors in 1938. He completed two years of study at Ellsworth College in Iowa Falls, where he took a class in flight instruction. When he enlisted in the Army in 1942, Gomer signed up for pilots' training. His previous flying experience at Ellsworth qualified him to be sent to Tuskegee Army Air Field in Alabama to participate in President Roosevelt's new program to train black pilots.
