Bowyer who reviewed fighter development from the inauguration of the U.S.A.F. Organised as a team, there has been a general interchange of information, and an important and integral part of that team were members of the Publisher's own staff, Messrs. Frank Cheesman, Frank Yeoman, J. D. Carrick and W. F. Hepworth, M. S .I.A. Apart from the compilers, my thanks are due to the many organizations and other individuals whose support I enjoyed either directly or indirectly through the publishers and compilers. Especial thanks for their co-operation are due to Maj. James F. Sunderman, Chief of the U.S.A.F, Book Program, and Maj. Gene Gurney, Magazine and Book Branch, both of the Office of Information, Department of the Air Force, Washington, D.C., Dr. Albert F. Simpson, Chief of the U.S.A.F. Historical Division, and Miss Marguerite Kennedy of the Archives of that Division at Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama. The facilities offered by the Air Force Museum, Wright Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, are much appreciated, and my grateful thanks are given to the Director, Maj. RobertYou May Also Like
