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!

On Target: Organizing and Executing the Strategic Air Campaign Against Iraq
This document provides a detailed chronicle of advanced target engagement and precision strike operations led by a renowned USAF officer named Davis. The report highlights key operations conducted from critical bases such as Nellis Air Force Base, Edwards Air Force Base, and Langley Air Force Base, where Davis and his unit—often referenced within the context of the 93rd Bomb Wing and the 31st Fighter Group—employed state-of-the-art radar, missile guidance, and sensor integration techniques to refine air-to-ground combat methods. Specific incidents detail how innovative target validation procedures and coordinated joint exercises with allied forces enhanced round-the-clock readiness, transforming mission strategies and minimizing collateral damage in both domestic and international theaters.
