A propos de cet article

xv, 310 pages. Cover has some wear and soiling. Includes Footnotes; Illustrations; Foreword; Preface; Acknowledgments; Appendix 1; Appendix 2; Glossary; Note on Sources; Timeline; and Index. Includes chapters on Scientists and Generals; A Science Adviser for the Air Staff; Evolution; Changing Environment; Constriction; Chief Engineer; The Chief Scientist's Office Reborn; The Air Force Enters the Post-Cold War World; and Conclusion. Dwayne Allen Day is a space historian and policy analyst and served as an investigator for the Columbia Accident Investigation Board. Day is a senior program officer for the Aeronautics and Space Engineering Board of the National Research Council/National Academy of Sciences, where he has served as a study director on studies concerning NASA's aeronautics flight research capabilities, the planetary exploration program, the size of the astronaut corps, the threat of asteroids, workforce skills, radiation hazards to astronauts, U.S. Air Force astrodynamics standards, and other projects. He previously served as a program officer on the Space Studies Board. He has also written extensively on the history of American satellite reconnaissance. This book traces the history of the office of the Chief Scientist of the Air Force over its 50 years, including remembrances from those who filled the position. It illuminates changes that have occurred over the years, as the country moved from peace to war and back, as national security demands of the Air Force evolved, and as reorganizations and power shifts have taken place within the service and the Department of Defense. It shows that the primary purpose of the office, to provide objective and timely advice to Air Force senior leadership on science and technology, has remained constant throughout.…
