Air Force Historical Research Agency Welcome to the Department of the Air Force (DAF) Legacy Vault

DAF Legacy Vault

We are excited to announce the development of a new digital space dedicated to showcasing the Department of the Air Force's (DAF) official archival records. This project highlights the rich and storied history of both the Air Force and Space Force, featuring historical records, artifacts, photographs, audio recordings, video documentation, and archival finding aids.

Although the page is currently under construction, our team is actively working to ensure it becomes a comprehensive and accessible resource for historians, researchers, veterans, and enthusiasts. We aim to make these valuable materials readily discoverable for those seeking insights into the DAF's contributions to our nation's history.

This initiative underscores our commitment to preserving and sharing the official ephemera of the Airmen and Guardians who have shaped the legacy of the skies and beyond. Updates will follow as the project progresses, and we look forward to unveiling more resources soon!

Transformation in Russian and Soviet Military History
"Transformation in Russian and Soviet Military History" examines the evolution of Russian military power, focusing on how warfare shaped the Soviet Union’s rise as a global superpower. Drawing from the Twelfth Military History Symposium, the volume addresses the historical, political, and ideological forces that influenced Soviet military strategy, with particular emphasis on the Great Patriotic War and the challenges of modern warfare. It highlights gaps in Western scholarship, the impact of war on Soviet society, and the need for deeper research into Russia’s military transformation.
