USAF: 25 Years at War

摘要

Commentators often say the US has been at war since 9/11/2001, but the Air Force has been flying and fighting nonstop for a full decade longer than that.

These snapshots reveal thatAFAcounts among its members significant figures in Air Force history-and airmen who quietly performed their missions, out of the spotlight, with professionalism.
