Air Force Case History Files

After the close of World War II, the US Air Force commissioned a number of Case History Files that examined various research and development efforts conducted by the Air Force and its contractors. Most of these reports are available as 16mm microfilm reels from the Air Force Historical Research Agency.

A list of reports available on microfilm appears below.

Microfilm Reels are available via mail order for US $30.00 each from:

Checks drawn on US banks should be payable to DDO MAFB.
