This book traces the history of the office of the Chief Scientist
of the Air Force over its 50 years, from its roots to the present,
including remembrances from those who filled the position. It
illuminates many changes that have occurred over those years as the
country moved from peace to war and back again, as national
security demands on the Air Force evolved, and as reorganizations
and power shifts have taken place within the service and the
Department of Defense. It also shows that the primary purpose of
the office, to provide objective and timely advice to Air Force
senior leadership on science and technology, has remained constant
throughout.
