Synopsis:

Specially compiled for the 50th anniversary year of the United States Air Force, this is a tribute in both words and pictures. Incorporating a year by year approach, it details the principle events, and the people and planes that have played important roles during this half century. The developments in air power are explored, from the first swept-wing supersonic F-68 Sabre to the advanced stealth technology of the Lockhead Martin F-22. The history of the air-force is recorded, from the Cold War through Korea, Vietnam and the Gulf War to today's humanitarian and peace-keeping roles around the world
