    In AFLCMC’s newest “Leadership Log” podcast, Chief Historian Kevin Rusnak talks about how aviation’s roots in Ohio, the world events that impacted the U.S. Army’s aviation efforts, and how a burgeoning Air Force created and evolved its support, technical and acquisition abilities to serve challenges of the Cold War era. In this extended conversation, Rusnak discusses:

    Why aviation development grew in the Dayton, Ohio region and remained a constant presence

    How the Army responded to procuring aviation assets for World War I
    What the “interwar period” meant for aircraft suppliers and government research efforts

    How airplane procurement practices evolved during World War II

    How the newly-established Air Force worked to meet development and acquisition priorities during the Cold War

    How Cold War acquisition offers lessons for present-day challenges
