Historical Note
At the June 1994 Air Force Public Affairs Alumni Association conference in San Antonio, the membership agreed that a history of USAF Public Affairs should be a priority. As part of that effort, an Oral History Program was proposed to collect first-person accounts of the evolution of public affairs in the USAF. The AFPAAA Oral History Program accumulates and preserves first-person historical accounts of public affairs events, activities, and related periods in the lives of selected interview subjects.
