Have you gotten a copy of David Arnold's book, yet? I recommend it for AFSOA members.
Spying from Space is a comprehensive review of the AFSCF's developmental history. Lots of rationale for how it came about. My criteria for judging something like this is to try to overlay my own experience and see how well it lines up with the points of the book. Considering the number of years ago that much of this took place, the compartmentalization and need to know that existed and a fuzzy memory, I would say that David has done a very creditable job. This doesn't mean that knowledgeable readers may not have occasion to wonder, "Is that correct?" Or mutter, "I don't think so!" For most of us it will reveal things that we have wondered about or hadn't the slightest inkling of. It is a book many of us would have liked to have written, but were too busy with other things to do all the work necessary to get it done. AFSOA members owe a debt of gratitude to David.
The book is not cheap -- $48 from Amazon.com. You might want to consider a bulk purchase if a reasonable discount could be negotiated. I'd check with David to see if that could be arranged. Maybe even to ring him in on a book signing. You might consider a meet-the-author gathering where we could all gather and interact. It would be a great excuse for a very informal meeting. Possibly one in your area and one down here. J
ust some thoughts.
