The Friends Journal is the quarterly publication of the Air Force Museum Foundation, Inc. (AFMF). In this issue are stories about flying as a wingman on a combat mission in zero visibility, the first strategic bombing of the United States, an aircraft mechanic’s unique way of demonstrating pride in his work, flying the nuclear armed F-89 Scorpion interceptor, gathering intelligence on Soviet missiles during the Cold War, and a forward air controller’s first experience working with a gunship. Plus the Restoration Report, lots of Friends Feedback, and a Medal of Honor recipient. If you’d like to receive the Journal in its entirety every quarter, consider becoming a Friend of the Museum – visit afmuseum.com/friendsprogram or call 937.258.1225. The AFMF is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization dedicated to the expansion and improvement of the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force and to the preservation of the history of the USAF.
