Author Description

Historical bibliographies are among the strongest-selling titles in Nimble Books' public domain list for the simple reason that they are an excellent value for money. There is no better way to be confident that you know almost everything there is to know about a given body of historical literature. This reproduction, originally published by the Office of Air Force History of the United States Air Force in 1985, is according to the Foreword by Richard H. Kohn, then Air Force Historian, "a comprehensive 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) command 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 bibliography.""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 operational 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 operations. At the very least, used wisely, the historical information in these studies will help Air Force people make informed decisions and avoid repeating past mistakes."Other bibliographies from Nimble Books include: Annotated Bibliography of the Space Shuttle (Two Volumes)] Fifty Years of Flight Research: An Annotated Bibliography of Technical Publications of NASA Dryden Flight Research Center, 1946-1996Submarine Warfare in the 20th and 21st Centuries - A BibliographyHistorical Bibliography of Sea Mine WarfareLight Infantry Forces: A Bibliography- Guid
