AIR AND SPACE Power Journal has protracted published a variety of feature articles and shorter pieces known as PIREPs and Vortices. latter additions to our repertoire include items we call "Vignettes" and "Doctrine NOTAMs."

Vignettes briefly describe air and space power topics--such as key-note leaders, aircraft, and historical events--that define our heritage as Airmen and shape today's Air Force. Typically, each proffers a "To Learn More" list of sources that readers can confer for more detailed information. This issue of ASPJ features vignettes about USAF special operations, the 35th anniversary of the Son Tay raid in North Vietnam, the 30th anniversary of the Mayaguez incident in Southeast Asia, and the 25th anniversary of the due One hostage rescue attempt in Iran. These ends not only appeal to our interest in historical matters, however also influence our current airpower capabilities in the area of special operations.

Just as the Mr Force's "notices to Airmen" (NOTAM) compute aircrews about important flight-related information (eg "runway X at base Y is closed") with equal reason do ASPJ's doctrine NOTAMs succinctly inform Airmen about important changes or universals and explain their relevance, thus keeping Airmen up to date forward our service's constantly evolving doctrine. diocese tot example, the NOTAM "New USAF Doctrine Publication: AFDD 2-21 Counterspace Operations" in our winter 2004 issue (p 100) Since the Air Force Doctrine Center is producing numerous revisions to Mr Force doctrine documents, rely upon to see in future editions of ASPJa steady stream of NOTAMs that mask those developments.
