Santa Monica, CA: RAND, Project Air Force, 2003. Presumed First edition/first printing. Trade paperback. xxviii, 193, [3] pages. Tables. Figures. References. Originally known as Project RAND, Project Air Force (PAF) was established in 1946 by General H. H. "Hap" Arnold as a way of retaining for the United States Air Force (USAF) the considerable benefits of civilian scientific thinking that had been demonstrated during World War II. Since its founding, PAF has remained the only Air Force federally funded research and development center (FFRDC)) concerned entirely with studies and analyses rather than systems engineering or scientific laboratories. The special FFRDC status facilitates stable USAF support over an extended period of years as well as in-the-family access by the research staff to relevant Air Force information and management personnel.
