This history follows the development of the Office of the Secretary of the Air Force from its predecessor organization -the Assistant Secretary of War for Air during World War II-to its modem identity as one of three service secretariats within the Department of Defense. Watson vividly describes the influence of several Air Secretaries: Robert A. Lovett, W. Stuart Symington, Harold E. Talbott, and Eugene M Zuckert. Each made a personal contribution in defining and answering the military issues of the day, among them, the independence of the Air Force, the war in Korea, arguments over roles and missions, and nuclear strategy.

If power in Washington is often thought of as a zero-sum game, success is best achieved by creating "win-win" propositions. The Secretary of the Air Force, placed at the nexus of several power centers and responsible for fashioning a consensus, reports to the Secretary of Defense, deals with various deputy secretaries as peers, and interacts with the Air Force Chief of Staff, who supervises the service. The Secretary has real but circumscribed influence, yet must, to be effective, move individuals and agencies, with little more than limited or indirect authority over them.This work traces the history of the Office of the Secretary of the Air Force from its formation in the 1920s (as the Office of the Assistant Secretary of War for Air) through World War II, under Robert A. Lovett. It concentrates on the period from 1947, when the Air Force became independent of the Army, to 1965, when the United States became involved in the Vietnam War. During this time several laws significantly reshaped the U. S. military establishment: the National Security Act of 1947, its amendments of 1949, Reorganization Plan No 6 of 1953, and the Department of Defense Reorganization Act of 1958. These laws gradually strengthened the Department of Defense and firmly established civilian control over the military services.Author George Watson details how these laws affected the functioning of the first seven Secretaries of the Air Force, from W. Stuart Symington to Eugene M. Zuckert. The Air Force and its Secretaries struggled over autonomy, roles, and missions; fought the Korean War and the Cold War; procured advanced aircraft, missiles, and other weapons; and wrestled with many issues involving budgets, force size and structure, racial integration, morale, and congressional and public relations.The Secretaries of the Air Force have each brought unique leadership styles to office.This study provides a context for understanding the complex changes that confronted them as the United States successively moved through the jet, atomic, and space ages. It should prove useful to both civilian and military Air Force policy makers as they operate in a new era in which Americas air power has become truly global and unprecedented in influence and reach.Richard P.

An uncensored account of General Schwartz's term as the wartime US Air Force Chief of Staff under presidents Bush and Obama. The General’s dysfunctional home life drove him to apply to the Air Force Academy over forty years ago, where he was provided with a new family and sense of worth he had never earned from his own father. This purpose has driven the General throughout his remarkable career, taking him to Alaska, the Pentagon, and Germany; to Florida during Hurricane Opal, and has also allowed him to work alongside Presidents Bush and Obama and Secretaries of Defense Don Rumsfeld, Bob Gates and Leon Panetta. Journey is a book about leadership. It is packed with the General’s lessons from life in the military: breaking the mold, flying uncharted airspace, battles?from Iraq to the Pentagon, Afghanistan to Congress. It’s about pushing limits in an era of diminishing budgets and fewer resources to fuel the furnace of innovation. He chronicles the phenomenal story of the evolution of the US special operations, such as what was achieved when taking down Bin Laden. The General discusses the controversial new technologies that have been allowing America to build new capabilities in remote aircraft and cyber warfare. Many believe General Schwartz’s greatest legacy will be the dramatic acceleration of the “drone” program. He is a staunch advocate for it and this book will explain why.

This volume is a unique and concise career compilation of the military and civilian leadership of the Headquarters USAF from its founding in 1947 to 2000. In addition to recording the individual career summaries of the secretaries and chiefs of staff of the United States Air Force, this work tracks the various issues that confronted the Headquarters leadership through its half-century of existence. Also included are the officially designated portraits of the secretaries and chiefs and brief biographies of the artists who created them. The leaders profiled here came from different backgrounds and diverse fields of training. Included within the secretariat professions are engineers, industrialists, financiers, lawyers, and scientists. The military chiefs came from all walks of life and from all sections of the country-the sons of doctors, teachers, and people in myriad other professions, and from families with and without traditions of military service. Over the decades these civilian and military leaders faced a number of recurring problems, particularly those involving budgetary, personnel, and weapons system acquisition matters. The secretaries and chiefs of staff of the Air Force were instrumental in developing policies to deal with the post-World War II retrenchment of personnel and equipment in the late 1940s; the post-Korean War spending cuts in the mid-1950s; the resurgence of defense spending following the launch of Sputnik and the start of the Vietnam War; the post-Vietnam War "Hollow Force" Air Force of the late 1970s; the crest of President Ronald Reagan's defense spending effort to terminate the Soviet "evil empire"; and the peace dividends of the late 1980s and early 1990s at the end of the Cold War. Although these issues are not resolved definitively here, the divergent solutions of the Headquarters USAF staff to these similar problems are tracked vividly. Aspiring future leaders of the Air Force would do well to peruse these pages to identify the character traits, youthful experience, and professional assignments that carried these people to the peaks of their professions.
