A Message from the CMSAF

by Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force James A. Cody

Fellow Airmen,

As it is every year, this year's Reading List is filled with books, films and art that both capture our Air Force heritage and inspire the next generation of Airmen. There are new ideas for leading yourself and those around you, and old stories to enjoy for the first (or second!) time.

I hope you'll take a look—crack a book, or share a photo. I am confident what you'll learn will inspire you for years to come.

James A. Cody
