Aero-Linx!
Scouring the information super airways can sometimes be a tough,
if educational, task for the Aero-News staff... but it also allows
us to check out some truly neat and exciting sites, so it's not
that bad a gig. On any given day, we may check dozens (and often
hundreds) of different sources for story ideas, and facts
confirmation. And, as is the nature of our business, much of this
is done on the Internet.
The ANN gang decided we probably shouldn't keep some of the neat
sites, info resources, and organizations we've discovered to
ourselves... so we decided to bring you Aero-Linx. These are the
sites that WE check out -- when we need added perspective, a new
spin on a day's topic... or just want to escape into
cyber-aero-space for awhile.
Look for some of our favorite sites, coming each day to ANN via
Aero-Linx.
Suggestions for future Aero-Linx segments are always
welcome, as well.
Aero-Linx: Air Force History Index
The United States Air Force Historical Research Agency maintains
hundreds of thousands of historically significant US Air Force
documents representing some 70 million pages of interest to
historians, researchers, and Air Force buffs. These include unit
histories, special studies, personal papers, end-of-tour reports,
oral histories, interview transcripts, and more. The Air Force
Historical Research Agency is a national treasure whose dedicated
staff preserves the important history of the United States Air
Force and its predecessors. The US military fully recognizes the
strategic value of documenting and teaching lessons learned and
operational analysis. AFHRA helps preserve the hard-won information
contained in pages of historical records and in volumes of oral
histories. Beyond that, support provided by AFHRA regularly helps
today's Air Force accomplish its missions and operations. AFHRA
also commemorates the individuals and military units that in some
cases were called upon to achieve the impossible because it needed
to be done.
