The Foundation seeks to inform and inspire the men and women who are, or have been, affiliated with the Air Force, as well as the general public, particularly those with an interest in national security, about the dynamic heritage of air and space power and its relevance to contemporary and future issues. In striving to meet these goals, the foundation relies heavily on the publication of <em>Air &amp; Space Power History<\/em> and historical and biographical books, and on the sponsorship of a biennial symposium and of a series of annual awards.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Officers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Chairman of the Board<\/strong><br \/>\nGen James M. \u201cMike\u201d Holmes, USAF Ret.<br \/>\nAir Force Historical Foundation<\/p>\n<p><strong>President<\/strong><br \/>\nJonna Doolittle Hoppes<br \/>\nThe Doolittle Foundation<\/p>\n<p><strong>1st Vice Chairman<\/strong><br \/>\nMaj Gen John L.
