Air Force Officers: Personnel Policy Development, 1944-1974

Abstract

A historical study of the personnel policies of the United States Air Force as it attempted to develop and maintain a viable officer corps during some of the most turbulent times of American military history. This thirty-year period constituted a full military career for most officers, making this a history of the first generation of officers of the independent Air Force. It is the most important generation in Air Force history in terms of the ground-breaking decisions made and the lasting imprint these decisions left for future generations.
