    A Brush With the Air Force 42 AIR FORCE Magazine / July 2007 prototype for Corkin was Air Force Col. Milton Caniff was out front with “Terry and Philip Cochran, a noted World War II pilot and leader of air commandos in the Pirates,” but other cartoonists also found Burma. (See “The All-American Air- their calling in the wild blue yonder. man,” March 2000, p. 52.) He became a continuing character in “Terry.” In a famous “Terry and the Pirates” Sunday page from 1943, Corkin opened with, “Let’s take a walk, Terry,” and then delivered an inspirational talk about A Brush With the war and the Air Force as he and the newly fledged pilot Terry strolled around the flight line. The page was “read” into the Congressional Record and reported in the newspapers. Terry, Flip, and their colleagues had a great following among airmen, and the Air Force By John T.

Caniff produced another strip, “Male Call,” without charge for camp and base newspapers. It featured Miss Lace, who was reminiscent of the Dragon Lady but less standoffish. It is difficult today to comprehend what a big deal the funnies used to be. Everybody read the comic strips. Characters were as well known as movie stars. The strips were printed much larger than present comic strips are. On Sunday, a popular strip might get a whole color page to itself.

  • Eisenhower, Dwight D.: Post-Presidential Papers, 1961-69
    EISENHOWER, DWIGHT D.: POST-PRESIDENTIAL PAPERS, 1961-69 1961 PRINCIPAL FILE Series Description Dwight D. Eisenhower’s Post-Presidential Papers reveal the wide range of contacts and the busy schedule which he maintained during the 1960s. A large volume of mail kept his small secretarial staff busy, and he was in great demand as a public speaker. Correspondence in the Post-Presidential Papers offers some interesting insights into Eisenhower’s thinking on numerous issues. No longer burdened by the responsibilities of public office, he felt freer, perhaps, to express himself on various topics. Among the issues discussed in documents found within the 1961 Principal File are the space program, the Berlin situation, Republican party politics, the U.S. economy and monetary policy, and the 1960 elections. Additional topics discussed include Cuba and the Bay of Pigs disaster, foreign aid, taxes, the alleged missile gap, the 1952 campaign, the U.S.I.A.’s mission, the Electoral College, Laos, Latin America, and public housing. Eisenhower’s correspondence in the 1961 Principal File reflects a virtual Who’s Who of both foreign leaders and prominent Americans. Konrad Adenauer of Germany, John Diefenbaker of Canada, Anthony Eden, Harold Macmillan, and Queen Elizabeth of Great Britain, Prime Minister Menzies of Australia, President Mateos of Mexico, and King Saud of Saudi Arabia are among the foreign leaders who stayed in touch with the ex-president. Many prominent Americans maintained contact with the former president as well. He corresponded with numerous former members of his administration, including Dillon Anderson, Ezra Taft Benson, Arthur F. Burns, Andrew Goodpaster, James Hagerty, Bryce Harlow, Gabriel Hauge, C.D.

  • Warrior Ethos and the American Airman
    USAFA Photo Illustration by Mark Watkins 24TH ANNUAL NATIONAL CHARACTER AND LEADERSHIP SYMPOSIUM WARRIOR ETHOS AND THE AMERICAN AIRMAN FEBRUARY 23 – 24, 2017 Warrior Ethos and the American Airman This year’s National Character and Leadership Symposium (NCLS) builds on Air Force core values and leadership principles to focus on warrior ethos, directly reinforcing the Air Force Chief of Staff’s emphasis on “getting back to the basics” of our business. This NCLS is designed to illuminate the strength of character that a warrior needs, the kinds of challenges faced in serious, sometimes deadly struggles, and what drives men and women to prevail in times of great adversity. This year’s program cover features members of the Cadet Wing in formation, superimposed on the Center for Character and Leadership Development’s new home, Polaris Hall, which opened its doors in the summer of 2016. The Cadet officers’ sabers reflect the ancient profession of arms, linking yesterday’s warriors with today’s. In the background, the new building’s tower points toward Polaris (the North Star) representing the unwavering moral compass and principles that anchor warrior ethos and the American Airman. The spinning stars of the night sky suggest the dynamic nature of the world in which American Airmen must serve, navigate, and succeed.
