Despite the success of the operation, Currie notes, it did not overcome the region’s deep mistrust and dislike of the United States. The second article, “Starting from Scratch,” James Corum’s account of how the U.S. Air Force rebuilt the German Air Force — the Bundesluftwaffe — demon- strates that the task took much longer to complete than anyone had anticipated. Daniel Haulman likens Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, the architect of the Pearl Harbor attack, to the modern terrorist Osama Bin Laden. Haulman casts another look at the April 1943 Yamamoto Mission, not from the perspective of which American pilot deserves credit for the famous “shootdown,” but rather on the effects of the assassination. John Maher writes a poignant tribute to his childhood chum, Bill McGlynn, a World War II B–17 ball turret gunner. McGlynn and his crew mates aboard their plane, Lucky Lady, all survived being shot down.

    INSIGHT | ASK MAGAZINE | 35 From Masters with Masters: Jack Boyd and Hans Mark In August 2012, NASA Chief Knowledge Officer and Academy of Program/Project and Engineering Leadership Director Ed Hoffman sat down with Hans Mark, from the University of Texas at Austin, and NASA’s Jack Boyd at the Ames Research Center as part of the Academy’s Masters with Masters series. Dr. Mark has held several roles, including NASA deputy administrator, Ames center director, chancellor of the University of Texas, secretary and undersecretary of the air force, director of the National Reconnaissance Office, and director of research and engineering at the Department of Defense. Jack Boyd has worked at Ames for more than sixty years and is the senior advisor to the Ames center director. He has been the NASA associate administrator for management, and has also served as the acting deputy center director for Ames. Ames engineers (left to right) Allen Faye, Merrill Mead, and Jack Boyd discuss aircraft design and handling.

Rhett Flater & Associates M.E. Rhett Flater & Associates Pine Knoll Shores, NC Pine Knoll Shores, NC ABSTRACT1 This paper describes AHS’s vital role in the development of the rotorcraft industry, with particular emphasis on events since 1990. It includes first-hand accounts of the formation of the Society, how it matured and evolved, and the particular influences that compelled change. It describes key events which occurred during various stages of the Society’s growth, including the formation of its technical committees, the evolution of the AHS Annual Forum and technical specialists’ meetings, and the creation and evolution of the Society’s publications. Featured prominently are accounts of AHS’s role in pursuing a combined government, industry and academia approach to rotorcraft science and technology. Also featured is the creation in 1965 of the Army-NASA Agreement for Joint Participation in Aeronautics Technology, the establishment of the U.S. Army Rotorcraft Centers of Excellence, the National Rotorcraft Technology Center (NRTC), the inauguration of the Congressional Rotorcraft Caucus and its support for the U.S. defense industrial base for rotorcraft, the battle for the survival of NASA aeronautics and critical NASA subsonic ground test facilities, and the launching of the International Helicopter Safety Team (IHST).
