Inside History of the Usaf Lightweight Fighters, 1900 to 1975

By: Herbert A. Hutchinson

This book, in two volumes, attempts to explain the technology developments that evolved in the period from 1900 at Kitty Hawk through the ensuing seventy-five years leading to the development of the United States F-16 Multinational Weapon System in the mid-1970s. By 2017, 4,550 F-16s, all with the first all-electric, fly-by-wire flight control system have been manufactured for use by twenty-six countries. Awestricken birds undoubtedly ask themselves, How do humans do that? as an F-16 streaks by at over two hundred times the airspeed of the bird. This book strives to provide the how-and-why answer to that fascinating story.

The F-16 Fighting Falcon Multinational Weapon System, 1972 to 2019

By: Herbert A. Hutchinson

This book starts with an overlap of the period from 1963 to 1975, described in final chapters of the “Inside History of the USAF Lightweight Fighters, 1900 to 1975”. The next major portion of this book then describes the Transition Contract to “missionize” the General Dynamics YF-16 and Northrop YF-17 designs into a USAF Air Combat Fighter (ACF) and also to “navalize” both ACF designs for potential procurement as the USN Air Combat Fighter (NACF). The latter portion of this book describes the early F-16 Full Scale Development activities and then describes the numerous Block changes made to increase the capabilities of the production F-16 Fighting Falcon aircraft. In the concluding chapter is captured the very purpose for the development of “the fighter pilot’s fighter” – the use of the F-16 in operations world-wide. The F-16 Fighting Falcon Multinational Weapon System became the cornerstone of the fighter inventories of over 25 free-world countries for the past forty years and remains in their future plans for a few decades. F-16C/D service life extensions and upgrades continue to be made.

Finding My Way to God

By: Herbert A. Baumgard

Some people receive a call to serve God at a very early age. Others live many decades of their life before they turn to religion and to God. Idealistic as the author was from his youth, he lived the life of an average American boy and young man until the events of his life turned him in the direction of becoming a rabbi. Some of these experiences, spelled out in brief vignettes, are included in this volume, the death of his grandfather when he was five years old, a violent antisemitic confrontation at age eight, an interracial experience on a trolley car in 1932, in Virginia. Other vignettes describe facing death by a drunken soldier, a physical assault by a colonel angered by his teaching of racial equality as an Information and Education Specialist in the Army, a mystical encounter with nature, preaching in a Baptist church as an assistant to a Jewish Chaplain in World War II. The range of incidents is wide indeed. The reader is carried through five years of college, including a year in law school (abruptly halted by Pearl Harbor) and through four years in the U.S. Army. The reader will identify with the searchings of the young boy and young man for a life of purpose. These searchings ultimately led him to choose a lifetime of service to God.
