Air Force Magazine One year ago this month, on March 21, 2003, as the US Air Force embarked on war in the Persian Gulf, retired Gen. Robert J. Dixon died in Fair Oaks Ranch, Tex. His imprint on the Air Force, however, is a lasting one. Dixon, said Welch, “took command of Tactical Air Command during one of the most challenging times in its history.” Welch said that the year 1973 was a low point in public support for the post-Vietnam military, and the Air Force badly needed to rebuild its morale and force structure. “In the 1970s, after Vietnam, we were in free fall when it came to force structure,” Ryan said, adding that Dixon fought the battle to recapitalize the Air Force with major new programs such as the F-15 and F-16, creating a new and modern core to the fighter force. www.afa.org /magazine/March2004/0304dixon.asp   (1933 words)

1. War Years ~ Mike Spack This Royal Canadian Air Force story is dedicated to my dear wife Kath known to me so affectionately as "Liz", a nickname given to her by much-loved Uncle Les who, when she was at a young age, gave her so many rides on his motor bike named "Dizzie Lizzie". March 6, 1944 was the day I first saw Liz at the St. Mary's Church Parish Hall dance in Nantwich, Chestire, England and that story is in my writing "Long Ago and Far Away."
