Dr Launius

 

Diane Putney gave me your name and contact information so I could ask your help in publicizing a call for papers.  The Air Force Historical Foundation was founded in 1953, and we have published Air Power History quarterly since September 1954.  In addition, we have published ten books over the last 25 years, including one six months ago.  We are organizing a symposium for October 16-17, 2007, at the Sheraton Crystal City in Arlington, Virginia, and we have started publicizing our call for papers, with application deadline of May 1, 2007.  We have the call online on the American Historical Association Web site, the Society for Military History Web site, and H-Net, a humanities and social sciences Web site.  Both AHA and SMH will place the call for papers in their print newsletters, presumably in the next editions.  We will send the call for papers through Air Force history, Joint Staff history, and Office of the Secretary of Defense history channels.

 

We’re asking your help in getting the call for papers out through the Society for History in the Federal Government.  The basic call and a proposal cover sheet are attached.

 

BTW, Diane has just won our award for best military history book reviewed in Air Power History in 2005 for her work Airpower Advantage: Planning the Gulf War Air Campaign.  (We’re catching up this year on past awards, and will begin soon with the process for our 2006 award.)

 

I would appreciate any help you could give in getting our call for papers into the SHFG Web site, newsletters, etc.  Thank you very much.

 

Sincerely
