In this section you'll find the complete text of a report prepared by the USAF Historical Division, Research Studies Institute, at Maxwell AFB, Alabama, March 1956. The Table of Contents below, however, is my own and is set up for ease of browsing. It is based on the report's own Table of Contents in that theirs was broken down into the major categories labelled Narrative, Appendixes: A thru J, and Biographical Note; I've only broken up the narrative sections for ease of browsing. To keep this report historically pure, I've avoided editing (very obvious typos aside) and hyperlinking (with the exception of navigational hyperlinks).
