The United States of America did not become the world’s foremost military air power by accident. Arriving at this position has been a long and difficult learning process that continues to present day. The learning curve–World War I, World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Gulf War, and more recently, the War on Terror–has been a steep one. While climbing this curve, the U.S. has not only produced superior military aircraft in greater numbers than its foes but has–in due course–out-trained them, too. This work is designed to provide the reader with a comprehensive historical survey, including technical specifications, drawings, and photographs, of each type of fixed and rotary-wing aircraft used by U.S. military forces over a 98-year period to accomplish the first step of the learning process: the training of pilots and aircrews.
