In Memoriam: Albert T.?Chapman, Jr. (1920-2010)

Mildred S.?Chapman (1926-2017).

vii Writing a book of this detail has been a time-consuming endeavor. Working at Purdue University Libraries, I am truly grateful to have supportive and collegial colleagues who understand the complexities and frustrations involved in writing a scholarly book. It is a blessing to work at a research library with a strong and enduring commitment to providing scholars from all disciplines with access to so many research and data resources. I want to give particular thanks to my supervisor Professor Erla Heyns and Professor J.P.?Herubel who have encouraged me to keep "plugging away" at this endeavor and reassuring me it would eventually be accom- plished. Additional gratitude goes to Purdue History Professor Michael Smith, who was a constant source of support and encouraged me to try

Palgrave Macmillan as a publisher.

Anca Pusca, Katelyn Zingg, Hemalatha Arumugam, Vinoth Kuppan, Dana De siena, and Leoselvakumar Periyanayagam have been consum- mate professionals in guiding me through Palgrave's publishing policies and procedures and making constructive suggestions for enhancing manu- script quality. This work has also been enhanced by the suggestions of its peer reviewers. I appreciate the permissions granted by the American Enterprise Institute, Center for Strategic and International Studies, and Lockheed Martin to use maps and photographs in this work. Sarah Reifel of Purdue's Roland Parrish Library provided very helpful graphic design input.?Colin Anderson deserves credit for the powerful cover image. I am also grateful for the encouragement of family and friends. My brother Brent and brother-in-law Mark Gick are always interested in my scholarly investigations, with Mark being particularly enthusiastic about

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

viii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS aviation matters. The love and understanding of my wife Becky is an eter- nal source of blessing and joy. She has traveled with me to sites such as the Royal Air Force Museum and National Museum of the US Air Force to share my infatuation with the JSF and endured my seemingly incessant talk about this aircraft and its impact. I'm sorry my parents did not live long enough to see this project reach completion. Albert T.?Chapman was a Marion, IN, high school chemistry teacher whose interests went far beyond science and who positively impacted family, students, colleagues, fellow church members, and a wide network of individuals. My mother Dr. Mildred S.?Chapman died on September 20, 2017. She heard me talk about this project often and I wish she could have lived long enough to see its culmination. She served as a Taylor University Education and English Professor, and was acutely inter- ested in my writing, and helped endow me with a commitment to detail and presenting the highest-quality professional work and personal con- duct. This work is dedicated to both of?my parents and honoring their enduring legacy. ix
