National Air and Space Museum Rand History Project oral history interviews, 1985-1990.
This project is a dual institutional study of the Rand Corporation and its military sponsor, the Air Force. This collection covers the period 1945 through the early 1960s. The interviews were conceived as another angle of inquiry on the relations between expert knowledge and the military in the early Cold War. The principal question which this interview set addresses is what motivated and sustained Air Force, industry, and academic interest in organizing this range of expertise through the creation of a new organizational entity supported by service funds. The principal investigator was Martin Collins. Individuals interviewed were: Bruno Augenstein, Robert Bacher with Lee DuBridge, Edward Barlow, Robert Belzer, Paul Blasingame, Edward Bowles, Frank Collbohm, Merton Davies, Richard Frick, Lawrence Henderson, Charles Hitch, Amrom Katz, Scott King, Burt Klein, David Novick, Malcolm Palmatier, Ernst Plessett, Edward Quade, Arthur Raymond, Ben Rumph, Robert Salter, Bernard Schriever, Gustave Shubert, Robert Specht, Hans Speier, George Tanham, Crawford Thompson, and Albert Wohlstetter.
