Honoring Maj Gen I. B. Holley For His Many Years Of Service To Air And Space Power Journal

摘要

Maj Gen I. B. Holley has announced his retirement from Air and Space Power Journal's (ASPJ) Editorial Advisory Board (EAB-its board of directors, charged with determining the Journal's strategic direction). A military-history icon, he has been associated with ASPJ for over three decades-actually only a small part of his amazing military and academic career. After enlisting in the Army Air Forces and serving as an aerial-gunnery instructor during World War II, he joined the Air Force Reserve in 1947. In the military, he served in the Office of the Secretary of the Air Force, at the Keesler Technical Training Center in Mississippi, and at Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama, as mobilization designee to the commander of Air University. By 1976 his talents had taken him to the rank of major general; he retired from the Air Force Reserve in 1981. Meanwhile, for over 60 years he has enjoyed a parallel career as a professor at Duke University, teaching a number of subjects, including military history and the history of technology.
