United States Air Force Statistical Digest, Fiscal Year 1951. Sixth Edition
Abstract
The USAF Statistical Digest summarizes the great volume of statistical information collected and published by the various offices in USAF Headquarters and certain Air Force Commands. The more important data on the many activities and operations of the USAF are brought together on a uniform basis to serve as an official and basic reference manual. The Fiscal Year 1951 USAF Statistical Digest is the sixth edition of the publication series. Original editions- Army Air Forces Statistical Digest (World War II) and supplement Number 1, 1945 were followed by AAF Statistical Digest, 1946 and USAF Statistical Digest, 1947. The 1946 and 1947 editions made Air Force statistics in summarized form available as far back as possible, with the exception of Combat Operations. The latter data is found only in the 1945 edition. The 1948 issue was the first strictly annual publication. The present and 1949-1950 editions were organized on a Fiscal Year basis and historical continuity may be accomplished by referring to the previous publications. Many new tables have been added on data which have become available during the preparation of this issue. An effort has been made to cover all phases of the Air Force activities for which this publication is the official statistical yearbook.
