This book tells the history, traditions, and contributions of the Permanent Professors at the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Permanent professors were first appointed at the Air Force Academy in 1957, before the first class graduated. The position allows a select few Air Force officers to serve in their positions for many years, instilling continuity and stability in the academic program as Department Heads and as the Dean of Faculty. It is a prestigious group of men and women (only 100 individuals in 60 years) who, after receiving a Presidential appointment and Senate confirmation, go on to lead the academic programs and influence every facet of the Academy and well beyond. This is their story.
The book is presented here in a unique interactive format, including the essays, biographies, and photographs of all the Permanent Professors.
